After a farce, everyone lost interest and got up to say goodbye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Qin Lei asked about the apartments of several people, agreed with them to talk about it another day, and walked to Qinghe Garden with Le Buyi.

"Lao Le, what's wrong with you today?" Qin Lei asked softly, "Why is it that mentioning Wen Yanbo is like taking medicine?" ”

Le Buyi untied the yellow and clear wine gourd on his waist, poured a mouthful and wiped his mouth and smiled: "The eight characters don't match, and you will be angry when you listen to it." ”

Qin Lei didn't believe it: "Who are you fooling?" When I was Qiao Yunsheng. ”

Le Buyi obviously didn't want to continue this topic, and laughed softly: "I went to see Miss Li yesterday, and I should go to see my Yunshang today." Qiao Yunsheng's grandfather was in Zhongdu, so she didn't go back to Shannan for the New Year.

Qin Lei scratched his head and said, "Because I have an old relationship with Lord Li, I went to the Li family justifiably, and I haven't seen the person I want to see yet." He smiled again: "What reason did you let me go to Grandpa Yunshang's house?" Begging for a drink? ”

Le Buyi shook his head and smiled: "If you don't want to go, you won't go, I won't tell Yunshang." ”

Qin Lei heard this, and said angrily: "You are not kind, you always think about people in the shadows." ”

How could Le Buyi be afraid of him, squinted and smiled: "The prince is not dark? Could it be that you forced the group to scold Wen Yanbo, really to help that businessman? ”

Qin Lei was slightly embarrassed and said, "Knowingly asked." He snatched the wine gourd from Le Buyi's hand, raised his head and poured a sip, and said, "This monkey drunk is really made by a monkey?" ”

Le Buyi rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, it was brewed by the macaques of Jiuhua Mountain, and I worked hard to steal an altar to come out." Saying that, he recaptured the gourd and said, "Don't divert the topic, do you want to destroy this year's talent ceremony?" ”

Qin Lei pursed his lips and said, "Stingy." Then he nodded and said, "Aren't we unable to think of a good way to deal with Wen Yanbo's spring offensive?" Through the analysis of known intelligence, the three of them unanimously determined that the goal of Wen Yanbo's collusion with hundreds of officials was to strike the dynasty, and the purpose of the boycott was to force himself to retire and beg for bones. And at present, the possibility of Old Bastard Li helping is also very great.

At that time, no matter whether his goal can be achieved or not, Qin Lei will be splashed with sewage - let the people and gentry of the world know that His Royal Highness Qin Lei, the king of Longwei County, will not be allowed to be civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty, how bad is the impact? In people's hearts, most people must be right, and naturally his five highnesses are wrong, treacherous, bad, and inhumane...... When I saw him later, I was afraid that I would have to take a detour.

As long as His Highness still has ambitions for the future and has no intention of returning to the mountains and forests, this cannot be allowed to happen, and even if it still happens in the end, the consequences must be controlled within an acceptable range.

Qin Lei flicked his shirt and sneered: "The art of war has clouds, 'The first striker is controlled, and the second striker is controlled by others." Why should we be controlled by others? "The imperial examination is too important to Wen Yanbo, almost his rice bowl, he will never risk being killed, and brazenly challenge Qin Lei, so its launch time should be in April after the big competition.

Le Buyi touched his chin and said, "Preemptive? ”

Qin Lei bowed his head and said, "Yes, strike first." Didn't he Wen Yanbo want to pour dirty water on me? Lao Tzu first gave him a basin on his head, which stinked his reputation. Said with a smug smile: "When the time comes, it will be difficult for him to cross the river himself, and there is no other way to be a man than to pick up his tail." If he dares to attack Gu regardless of life or death, he is looking for revenge, and no one will sympathize with him. ”

After pondering for a moment, Le Buyi said softly: "The prince's plan is good, but have you thought about it, Dabi is a major event involving hundreds of wealthy families, just like a big hornet's nest, if you poke it, you will be stung." Dare to ask the prince, are you ready to be besieged by thousands of hornets? ”

Qin Lei didn't answer immediately, the two walked silently for a while, and then he said softly: "If you don't poke this hornet's nest, you won't be stung, can't you?" Those hornets will still rush out, although in smaller numbers, but they are deadly enough. ”

Only then did Le Buyi know that the prince's gambler spirit had flare up again. couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mencius tasted the clouds: 'Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help.'" The widow is helpless, and the relatives are beside them; If you help more, the world will follow it. ’”

Qin Lei smiled and said, "Yes, I'm upholding justice and upholding justice." ”

Le Buyi smiled bitterly: "This way is not the right way in the world, but the back of the heart." ”

Hearing the words 'people's hearts are back', Qin Lei was stunned for a moment. With a wave of his hand, Qin Sishui called the carriage, and the two got into the carriage and continued to discuss the topic of Fang Cai.

Leaning comfortably on the soft seat, Qin Lei muttered: "Guan Tao said, 'It is easy to win the hearts of warriors, and it is rare for scholars to fall in love. ’”

Le Buyi nodded and said frankly: "It makes sense." ”

Rolling his eyes, but without arguing with Le Buyi, Qin Lei continued to analyze according to his own thoughts: "If I can preside over the public for those scholars, will they still be 'difficult to fall into'?" ”

Le Buyi shook his head and said: "It's still the same sentence, all the ideas of the prince are good, but you can't touch this hornet's nest." Speaking solemnly, he asked: "How does the prince think that the strength is compared to the kings who seized the heirs eighteen years ago?" ”

After thinking about it, Qin Lei replied honestly: "There should still be a gap." ”

Le Buyi nodded: "That's true." The five highnesses at that time, how prosperous the lineup was, and how arrogant they were. But when the scholars were angry, they couldn't bear it even if they joined forces, and in less than two months, they became a piece of loess outside the southern city. ”

Qin Lei frowned and said, "It seems that Mr. doesn't support Lone at all. ”

Lebu Yi patiently explained: "The reason why the scholars are strong is because they have 'deep roots and lush leaves'. ”

"How?" Qin Lei asked softly.

"Many wealthy families already existed in the former Tang Dynasty, such as the Li family and the Xu family. Even if it is a little later, it has a history of one or two hundred years, and its roots are naturally deep; After several generations, or even more than ten generations, they have already spread their branches to every corner of Daqin, and they are absolutely luxuriant; And after hundreds of years of intermarriage, they have woven an intricate network, advancing and retreating together, and branching together. ”

Le Buyi explained softly: "The culprits of today's chaos in Great Qin, and even one-third of Shenzhou today, are these wealthy lords who occupy the government and opposition of the Three Kingdoms. ”

When Qin Lei heard this assertion for the first time, he couldn't help but purse his lips tightly and listen to Le Buyi:

"The great lords of the scholar clan are united, and their power is stronger than the imperial power, so they will naturally confront the imperial power intentionally or unintentionally." He retracted his hand into his sleeve and continued: "This is the case with my Great Qin, the same is true with Eastern Qi, and the same is true with Southern Chu. ”

He chuckled and said, "Do you know what they are most afraid of?" ”

Qin Lei said thoughtfully: "The state centralizes power in one person. ”

Le Buyi smiled and said: "The prince's vision is indeed vicious, yes, the biggest enemy of this kind of gate politics is the powerful imperial power, so they hope to maintain the current situation of mutual containment and interdependence, and it is best to continue like this forever." Looking at Qin Lei with blazing eyes, Le Buyi's voice became serious: "Does the prince really want to challenge the entire Shi clan?" ”

Qin Lei looked at Le Buyi, whose face was uncertain, shook his head and said, "This situation must change, but the time is not ripe," after thinking about it, he explained: "The main thing is that the external environment is not enough...... Worst. ”

At first, Le Buyi thought that Qin Lei would say something back, but in an instant, he realized something, and his eyes lit up and said, "You want to take advantage of external troubles......"

Qin Lei waved his hand and didn't let him continue: "This matter is a big proposition, don't be in a hurry to discuss it, you just have a number in your heart, and when the time is almost right, we will have a total of good lives." But he saw Le Buyi looking at himself with a look that had never been serious.

Qin Lei shuddered and said, "You won't have a hobby with Gong Liangyu, right?" ”

Le Buyi almost slipped off the chair, sat up straight, and said with a wry smile: "I just never found out that the prince was so wise." Saying Zhengse, he said: "Judging from the height of the field of vision alone, the prince is well-deserved to be the first in the world." ”

Qin Lei also smiled bitterly and said, "But the height of the station doesn't know how to rank among the hundreds in the world." It's like standing on the mountainside and looking at the top of the mountain, whether you can climb it or not, it's just a matter of being poor. ”

Le Buyi smiled and said: "The prince is anxious, you will only be nineteen years old in June, and there will be a long time." ”

Qin Lei smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be old for so long?" Because Le Buyi resolutely does not accept any title, and is only willing to serve as a guest secretary, he has always been vaguely worried that this guy will drift away one day. He added sincerely: "Where can I go to find a second mentor and friend?" "Meaning, give me a letter of approval, tell me you're not leaving.

Le Buyi didn't answer directly, pretending to be stupid and said: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, I practice the Jiuyang Lizhuan Heart Sutra, and it is no problem to live to be one hundred or forty or fifty years old." ”

Qin Lei was slightly disappointed, but he didn't want to force him, so he had to joke: "Why don't you practice that Pu Changsheng Technique?" Isn't it said that it is a miracle to prolong life? ”

Le Buyi said with a slightly embarrassed face: "This exercise is passed down by Ge Hong's predecessors, what a romantic person he is, the exercises he cultivates naturally pay attention to the harmony of yin and yang, my yang energy is too strong, but I can't practice it." ”

"The lonely sun doesn't last long, Lao Le, you should think about it." Qin Lei persuaded bitterly: "Don't learn from the pavilion, he looks like a loofah with a hanging gourd, and his appearance is too bad." You're different, typical...... Old white face. ”

Le Buyi touched his cheeks and smiled: "Although I am born beautiful, the key is to maintain it well." Regarding the matter of Dabi, the two had some differences, so they pressed it for the time being, said it slowly, and then began to talk nonsense.

They are leisurely here, and the Dongcheng Prime Minister's Mansion is busy, Prime Minister Wencheng, the freshly baked Wen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and even the Xiangfu Sanpin Senator Wen Mingli, go out together and meet the guests in the three wings.

Sending away a gentleman who nodded his head, Wen Mingren turned around and entered the house, and saw his second brother Wen Mingli pouring a bowl of tea, wiping his mouth, and sighing: "This **, I'm really tired, I didn't even have time to go to my grandmother's house on the second day of the new year." ”

Wen Mingren smiled and said: "Look at what the second brother said, it seems like a kiln sister who is waiting for a guest with her legs split." ”

Wen Mingli took out 'Don't ask for help' from under the table, scratched his back vigorously, and grinned: "It's comfortable...... He ***, it turned out that the eldest brother said to me: 'I want to vomit when I receive gifts.' I laughed at his hypocrisy, and said to myself: 'Can you count the money and count the cramps in your hands?' Now I know that he was inspired by it. "In previous years, when the inscription was normal, it was not his turn to come forward on this occasion.

Wen Mingren felt the same way: "I look at the gold bills and jade bracelets now, they are not as good as a bowl of braised pork." ”

Wen Mingli smiled and said, "How many are there?" "These things are all operated by the Wen family personally, and they are not allowed to interfere with the account room.

Wen Mingren flipped through the account books, struggled for a while, scratched his head and said: "This wave of adding talents, in seven days, a total of 200,000 taels of silver, 8,000 taels of gold in the inner palace treasure banknotes, 700 pieces of jewelry, 300 pieces of antiques of various colors, 12 boxes of rare books, as well as two granges, and 7,000 acres of fertile land. ”

Wen Mingli looked at the door and said softly, "How many are outside the account?" Why do you have to get hundreds of thousands of taels of treasure money, right? ”

Wen Mingren remembered this clearly, nodded and whispered: "Seventy-five thousand taels of silver, five thousand taels of gold." ”

"So much?" Wen Mingli wiped the saliva that flowed out, and muttered, "Are we two a little ruthless?" The old man probably counts how much he collects each time, and the difference will be seen if it is big. ”

Wen Mingren smiled and said, "Second brother is too worried, you were so honest as the eldest brother in previous years?" When will you not intercept a hundred thousand taels? As he spoke, he pointed to the west and sneered: "Let's just say that the individual courtyard he built on Yanming Mountain in the west, you haven't been to me, but I've been there." Nanmu girders of a water, is that half the money? And the blood coral screen in that house, how can it be worth thirty or forty thousand taels of silver, where did he get so much money? It's not every time he pretends to be a public servant, withholds the money from our public school, and fills his private pocket. ”

When Wen Mingli heard this, he slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: "This guy is such a rich man, he borrowed 10,000 taels from him last year and cried poorly, and he deserved to be doused with dung this year." ”

Wen Mingren saw that his anger was hooked, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was full of righteous indignation: "That is, it is time for our brothers to get rich this year, but we can't treat ourselves badly." Said with a compassionate face: "From the other side, let's help him, if the old man looks at it, hey, why is there more than 100,000 this year?" Don't suspect that the eldest brother has embezzled in previous years? He's a stupid person, what are we doing with him? ”

Wen Mingli smiled and said, "Yes, just do it." With a wave of his hand, he said generously, "Isn't this seventy-five thousand taels of silver?" My brother asked you to take the big head, thirty-five thousand taels, and the rest was my brother's. ”

Wen Mingren's face froze, and he scolded wildly in his heart: "Okay, you second child, you can get five thousand taels of gold without blinking an eye, don't talk about the second brother, don't climb the second boss, there is no good thing." ”

Wen Mingli ignored him anymore, pointed to the door and said, "Call the next one in." ”

The corners of Wen Mingren's mouth twitched a few times, but after all, he still didn't say any dirty words, and turned around angrily.

Looking at his back, Wen Mingli sneered: "Little cunt thing, I still want to fucking take a big head, I'm ......"

After a while, Wen Mingren led in an old man wearing a leather jacket, gloves around his neck, sparse hair, and an old face. As soon as he entered the door, the old man nodded and said, "Hello Prime Minister, I will give you a greeting." "A mouthful of Longdong with the smell of Saturn.

Wen Mingli glanced at the old man, and when he saw his appearance of being dirty, he suddenly disliked it in his heart, and his tone was very cold: "This official is just a senator of the Prime Minister's Mansion, sit down." ”

The old man with a furrow on his face shrank his neck and pouted: "I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Xiangye." As he spoke, he mentioned the blanket resting on the ground, and while putting it around his neck, he muttered: "I only have 20,000 acres of Longdong fertile land, and I want to give Xiangye a whole number, but I can't give it to you." ”

Wen Mingli wanted to send him away quickly, but he was stunned after hearing what he said: "What? 20,000 acres of fertile land in Longdong? "Because of the disputes between the three kingdoms, the land is seriously barren, and a piece of land must be raised in order to grow crops properly. The price of land at this time was lower than that of the Tang Dynasty, but the price of land was much higher. Zhongtian is about five taels and one acre, and those that can be called fertile fields are at least about seven taels.

20,000 mu can be equivalent to 140,000 taels of silver, and after thinking about it for a while, Wen Mingli secretly exclaimed: "You can use this to replace those antiques, they are priceless things." Then he changed his smile and said: "Stay and live, this official is the second son of the prime minister, and what I say is the same." ”
