God is absolutely fair, he makes everyone in the world suffer the same exposure, and will never be slightly different because of the difference in status. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, all injustices are artificial, and people of high status can drive others to create coolness for themselves - when the ordinary people have nowhere to hide in the heat, and even faint from heat stroke, they can not even sweat a drop......

The royal palace of Zheyi County, the middle capital.

A group of eunuchs carried several large wooden barrels to the outside of the study in the inner courtyard, and the leading one nodded to the captain of the guard, who waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to get out of the way.

The chief eunuch took his men and tiptoed inside, but instead of entering the door, he went around to the back of the study. I saw that there were a few thick quilts hanging on this north wall, and I don't know what they were for.

The leading eunuch Nunu mouthed, and the little eunuchs slowly lowered the barrel, and someone stepped forward to lift the quilt, revealing two brass windows covered with water droplets, and under the windows there was a cowhide pipe hanging down to the ground. The leading eunuch padded the handle with a piece of cotton cloth, opened the window, and a cold air suddenly hit his face.

He was not in a hurry to take the next step, but greedily enjoyed the rare coldness, until he was so cold that he looked at the benchmark in the window, pushed the little eunuch who was crowded beside him, and reprimanded in a low voice: "A group of cheap seeds, is this something you can enjoy?" The little eunuch hurriedly retreated, but he was still reluctant to go too far from the window.

There was a group of big people discussing things inside, and the leading eunuch didn't dare to speak much, but just danced a few fists, indicating 'go out and settle the account', and whispered to do the right thing.

A little eunuch pulled out the clamps on each cowhide tube, and the clear water with the ice ballast flowed out of the tube silently and directly down the gutter.

When the water was almost gone, the little eunuch took off the quilt covering the bucket, and there was also a seeping coldness, and it turned out that there were stacks of crystal ice cubes neatly stacked in the bucket.

The other little eunuchs put on thick gloves, picked up the ice cubes and brought them to the copper window, and then put them in neat yards. When all the ice cubes in the three buckets are used up, just fill the dark compartment in the wall.

After one final inspection, and after confirming that it was correct, the chief eunuch closed the bronze door, lowered the cotton curtain, and led his men to tiptoe out again, and walked to the next room where ice was needed.

With this kind of 'earth air conditioning', even if there are more than a dozen people crowded in the study, they don't feel the heat at all, and even His Royal Highness King Zheyi, who is as cold as a tiger, is exaggeratedly wrapped in a thick blanket...... If it weren't for the fact that the fourth child, who was extremely afraid of heat, fainted, he would not have agreed to cool down.

In addition to the two brothers who led the household department, Wang Anting and Wang Biyan, two scholars, as well as their main protégés, were also sitting.

Now it is Qin Ji, the king of Jianming County, who is speaking, although the room is cool and pleasant, his face is still covered with beads of sweat, and his tone of voice is also full of gunpowder: "I said a long time ago, you are going to mess up like this, now it's okay, want to pull Lao Tzu in?" There are no doors! ”

Qin Lin frowned and said: "Fourth, what are you roaring, who doesn't know that you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, brother, if I am unlucky, how good can you be?" ”

"You're scaring me!" Qin Ji sneered and said, "I don't dare to say anything else, but Qin Lei must know that I didn't take any of them!" Saying that, he pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "As for your two nuclear dates, I really haven't taken a fancy to them!" ”

At the same time, hundreds of caravans traveled back and forth between the Western Regions and Jingshan City, transporting musk, deer antlers, tea, porcelain, pearls, silk and other goods worth more than gold to Western countries in exchange for genuine gold jewelry, as well as various luxury goods such as orchids, spices, famous horses, and silverware, and then sold them to wealthy merchants in the Central Plains at a high price, with a monthly income of more than 10 million taels, and a net profit of at least 40 million taels of silver in a year.

According to Qin Lei's agreement with him, Qin Ji can withdraw one percent of the net profit as his salary, that is, a serious income of four million taels of silver a year...... And as the business gets bigger and bigger, there is no doubt that this number will increase repeatedly, and as for how much it rises, it depends on his ability.

Four million taels! Back then, he risked his life to make money, but he only made two million taels in five years, and he had to be always on guard, afraid that once the matter was revealed, the chickens and eggs would be beaten...... As a result, it was really a chicken and egg fight.

There are idiots in this world who pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons, but Qin Ji thinks that he is not, so although he leads the household, he doesn't put a single silver or two in his pocket.

"You King Jian Jun has long been notorious, he Qin Yutian is a fabrication out of nothing, saying that you are corrupt and pervert the law, and others will believe him or not." Qin Lin knew that the cooperation between him and Qin Lei was related to the economic lifeline of the Wucheng Palace, so he couldn't let him get out.

"No," Qin Ji sneered: "He not only pointed at me to make money, but also had a big plan to ask me to help, and he would never tear down the bridge before crossing the river." ”

"You're blind!" Seeing that he didn't let go, Qin Lin ripped off the blanket irritably and glared at his twin brother angrily.

"That's better than not being greedy." Qin Ji looked at him without giving in.

Seeing that the two brothers were getting more and more twisted as they talked, Wang Anting had no choice but to persuade each other: "How can you say that you are also compatriots, why did you pinch it up first." Saying that, he arched his hand towards Qin Ji and said, "Now only the fourth master can help us make peace, please be sure to help!" The officials in the room also bowed and saluted: "Please help the prince." ”

Qin Ji was unmoved, if it was left seven or eight years ago, he would definitely be hot-headed, so he agreed to come down. But after all these years of ups and downs, he already knows how many bowls of dry rice he can eat, what he can do, and what he can't do. Shaking his head, he lowered his eyelids and said, "I'm not that capable, you don't have to count on me." ”

"Fourth!" Hearing him refuse so simply, Qin Lin's heart was like a knife: "Have you forgotten who risked his life to save you again and again?" It's me! Why are you too busy to get rid of my brother and I when I encounter some danger? ”

"I'm not ......" Qin Ji's face was red when he was said, and he finally couldn't harden his heart, and said softly: "I'll try my best to help you plead for mercy." As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Lin and said, "Brother, don't worry, if you really get to that point, I will also risk my life to protect you." After finishing speaking, he pushed the door and left, no longer noisy with everyone.

Seeing that he had left resolutely, everyone in the house could no longer stay, so Qin Lin had no choice but to stand up and say in a low voice: "I'll send him off, you guys wait." And he went out of the room.

As soon as he went out, he saw Qin Ji waiting for him at the end of the corridor, and walked two steps quickly to him, and the two brothers turned to a hidden pavilion to talk.

"Why are you on Qin Lei's side?" Qin Lin asked.

"A guy like me who has no skills can only stand on the side of the winner if he wants to survive." Without outsiders, Qin Ji spoke a lot more frankly, and said in a deep voice: "You can't defeat the fifth one, he is no one to beat." ”

"This Daqin is not his alone!" Listening to what his younger brother said, Qin Lin couldn't help but hissed and retorted, but after speaking, he was deflated, sat on the railing, hugged his head and said: "There are a few brothers, the boss is in charge of the eastern defense line, which can be described as a prince; The second child became the emperor, and the fifth child is now called the 'fake emperor'; you are also in charge of the Silk Road, and you can be regarded as having your own career......" Qin Lin leaned against the pillar, looked at Qin Ji with a hesitant face, and said: "And me? With the title of a university scholar empty, but without any real power, he was thirty in the blink of an eye, but where am I standing? is also a royal brother, why is the gap so big? ”

At the end of the words, he grabbed the fourth child's arm tightly, shook it violently and roared: "I don't want to waste any longer, I want to have my own power, I want to make a career." For this reason, I have to fight and fight, what's wrong with that?! ”

Letting Qin Lin hold on to himself, Qin Ji looked at him with pity and said in a low voice: "Didn't you keep teaching me a lesson, saying anything about following the strongest, and you would become the second strongest." Why are you confused? ”

"How could I have thought of going against him, it's obviously difficult to ride a tiger...... Qin Lin said with a flushed face: "I used this rule too much, when I saw my father and emperor in the sky, I abandoned the fifth child and messed with my father." Who wants to change the situation abruptly, the tree is scattered, and wants to change the door again, but he really doesn't have that face...... Who made me once shameless and slap a rake? ”

Listening to the regret in his tone, Qin Ji had a relieved expression, and said with a sigh of relief: "Do you regret it?" ”

"Nonsense, my intestines are all repentant." Qin Lin scratched his head vigorously and said: "You said that I didn't rebel and didn't rebel, if it weren't for catering to those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I wouldn't even ask for those two stinky money...... It's good to get out of class, the fox didn't catch it, and it ended up in a commotion. ”

"What if it's ......" Qin Ji's eyes flickered, "I mean, if the fifth child gives you a chance, what will you do?" ”

"If I can really give me a chance, I will honestly hug his thighs and never change them." Qin Lin shook his head and said, "It's a pity that it's impossible." ”

Qin Ji suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Prince Wucheng has spoken, and the King of Zheyi County has not yet gotten up to listen to the order. ”

These words hit Qin Lin like a thunderbolt, making his heart beat violently, and he actually knelt on the ground with his knees weak, and said with a dry mouth: "Xiao Wang takes the order!" "Actually, everyone is a prince, there is no need to kneel.

'It's better to kneel, it's healthier to kneel. Qin Lin said in his heart.

Looking at him fixedly, Qin Ji said word by word: "King Wucheng has an edict: 'Fight the tiger brothers, and go into battle with father and son.'" 'It's over. ”

Qin Lin raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Fifth Brother Xie, Fourth Brother Xie, I know." Only then did he stand up again with Qin Ji's support, and complained in a low voice: "When did you tell me, you hide it from me so tightly!" ”

"I received the letter before I came." Qin Ji smiled and said, "The fifth brother said, now the royal family is in charge." He was a brotherhood and didn't want to see our brothers kill each other. Let me ask you, if you still have the intention of repenting, tell you these ten words, if you are obsessed, then rot in your stomach. ”

Qin Lin's forehead suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he shouted luckily: "The difference between one thought, the difference between one thought!" ”

"Don't be too happy." Qin Ji poured cold water and said: "There are still two words in front of this brother. ”

"Fighting tigers?" Qin Lin said in a low voice.

"Yes, fight the tiger." Qin Ji pointed in the direction of the study, and said in a deep voice: "The meaning of the fifth child is very clear, you have to help him beat these tigers in order to be regarded as a brother." ”

"How?" Qin Lin swallowed and foamed. Dead friends are not dead and poor, and he betrays his comrades at critical moments, and he is not ambiguous at all.

"You ...... like this" Leaning closer to the three ears, Qin Ji commanded in a low voice.

His complexion changed several times, and Qin Lin finally nodded fiercely and said, "Okay!" That's it! ”

After breaking up with Qin Ji, Qin Lin walked back to the study quickly, and deliberately rubbed his face vigorously before entering, trying to give people a feeling of mourning, so he slowly pushed open the door and sat down on everyone.

Seeing him with a sad face, Wang Anting hurriedly comforted: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and this is also unforgiving, the prince still packs up his mood, let's discuss how to pass the test." ”

"Hmm." Nodding, Qin Lin said, "I'm just thinking about it, let's go to him in this book." ”

"Shangshu?" Wang Anting and Wang Biyan glanced at each other and said in a deep voice: "Does this work?" ”

"Shangshu is just a gesture, whether it is useful or not depends on His Majesty." Looking around at a kind of high-ranking official in the study, Qin Lin said in a deep voice: "After all, the Great Qin Dynasty is not the world of King Wucheng alone, he still has a majesty on his head, and you are Your Majesty's iron team, and you have made such great contributions, the imperial brother will not sit idly by!" ”

Hearing this, all the adults were quite moved, and exchanged their heads and ears, but Wang Anting asked aloud: "What crime did you use to join him?" ”

"You have to be heavy, you can't help but feel pain!" Qin Lin's eyes narrowed and said: "We must morally suppress him and let him take care of the loss, so that Your Majesty can mediate with us." He smiled and said, "You might as well go back and think about it, write a good book, and attack it in groups!" ”

"I'll see it." Wang Biyan nodded and said: "If there are more ants biting the elephant, I don't believe the complaint, he can not panic!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a rather young purple-robed official below him said, "Pavilion Elder is right! Qin Lei has been able to get to this day, and the crimes he has committed are too numerous to mention, let's turn them out for him to ensure that he can't resist them! "He is the new right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Yi Weiluo, and he is also Qin Lei's old enemy.

Everyone also agreed, and after agreeing, they all looked at Wang Anting, such a big thing had to be decided by his boss, and after a long silence, Wang Anting said slowly: "What if King Wucheng overreacts?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll explain it to him." Qin Lin rubbed his hands together and said, "After you go back, you will write a fold, in duplicate, one for Your Majesty and one for me." I took these pieces and immediately went east to talk to the fifth child, and as long as he let us go, we would no longer pursue the matter, and from then on the well water would not interfere with the river water. ”

"It's better not to stimulate the transition." Although he basically agreed with the opinion of the Third Highness, Wang Anting still said solemnly: "King Wucheng's temper is not good, if he starts a surge, we guys who are powerless are not opponents." ”

"Elder Ge is too worried," Qin Lin shook his head and smiled: "Qin Lei values the army the most, it is the south, he has always been indifferent to the affairs of the court, and he will not overreact to what we wrote in the folds." As he spoke, he waved his arm heavily and said, "We are writing to Your Majesty, as long as we can impress him, let him realize that we are an important restraining force, and give us an intercession, everything will be fine." ”

"Then there is Lord Lao." Wang Anting said in his heart, 'yes', which emperor can tolerate a powerful minister like Qin Lei to be powerful? He led the crowd to stand up and salute, saying, "Let's go back and write a recital." ”

"Okay, the sooner the better." Qin Lin nodded and sent everyone out of the house.
