Chapter Ninety-Five: Virtuous Ministers and Good Ministers Also Eat Food
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, go to the grave and ask the ancestors to make a big offering.
Whether in Qin, Qi or Chu, whether it is a dignitary or a common person, on the first day of Chinese New Year's Eve, this thing must be done. As a royal family that sets an example in the world, it is natural to be the most rigorous and grand.
It was still dark, and a eunuch whispered to Qin Lei to get up, and after being served and washed by the eunuch and palace maid in a daze, it took twice as long to put on the complicated sacrificial clothes. Awkwardly walked outside the house, there was already a pure black and gold king car waiting.
After getting into the car, Qin Lei was about to lean on the soft seat, and followed the little eunuch who came in to serve Xiaoyi: "Your Highness, this sacrificial dress is afraid of pressure." β
Qin Lei was not annoyed, and asked with a smile: "How long will it take to get to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?" The little eunuch replied softly: "It will take two and a half hours at the earliest." β
When Qin Lei heard this, he said depressedly: "Do you want the fifth master to sit upright and upright for two and a half hours?" He stared at the little eunuch again and asked, "How long can you put this outfit on the fifth master?" β
This little eunuch is the one who reminded Qin Lei when he met the Queen Mother that day. The Queen Mother was afraid that the general internal eunuch would snub Qin Lei, so she sent this little eunuch named Huang Zhao to his side as the chief manager.
This little Huang Gonggong is a delicate man, and he has been with Qin Lei for a while, how can he not understand his thoughts. I had to say with a bitter face: "That slave is called Your Highness." β
Qin Lei got up and said with a smile: "When it comes to grasping people's hearts, knowing cold and knowing heat, my Surabaya is not as good as your little yellow." The little yellow eunuch smiled bitterly and took off the complicated sacrificial clothes for him and placed them neatly aside.
Qin Lei, who only had his middle coat left, lay comfortably on the wide soft seat, pedaled Huang Zhao with his feet, and said with a smile: "Find a bed for the fifth master." β
Huang Zhao opened the dark compartment under the seat, took out a brocade quilt from it and covered it for Qin Lei, and then extinguished the palace lamp. Qin Lei fell asleep in a huff, leaving only the little eunuch guarding the warm basin with a faint blue flame.
I don't know how long it took, there was a knock on the car door. Huang Zhao went over and asked in a low voice, hearing that it was the prince, he quickly turned on the lamp and opened the door.
As soon as the prince came in, he saw Qin Lei curled up on the chair and sleeping, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. stepped forward and pushed it, and Qin Lei immediately woke up.
He opened his eyes and muttered, "Second brother, I just fell asleep." β
The prince scolded with a smile: "You madman, you can undress and lie down on the way to worship your ancestors, see that I don't tell my father and the emperor, and whip you." β
Qin Lei sat up and said with a smile: "I know that the second brother is reluctant, let's say, what is the matter with the younger brother?" β
The prince said with a straight face: "I just came to see you, what's the matter." β
Qin Lei pushed the quilt behind his back and said with a smile: "Come on, there must be something big about it, so that the second brother can get into my broken car regardless of criticism." β
Huang Zhao moved a brocade pier for the prince, and the prince sat down and said with a smile: "Now your fifth master Qin is the number one popular person in Kyoto, and people give the nickname - the jade-faced little overlord is also." β
Qin Lei suddenly came to his senses, and said vigorously: "This nickname is good, it can not only reflect my handsomeness, but also reflect my domineering." β
The prince fell for a while, and after a while, he said slowly: "You are comfortable, but the Taiwei Mansion is troublesome." Although there will be no movement before the year, I believe that as soon as the New Year comes out, you will look good. β
Qin Lei scratched his head and said with a little distress: "Yes, a few big slaps were drawn in the face one after another, and even the iceman had to be on fire." What's more, the arrogant Taiwei family. β
The prince sneered: "When it comes to arrogance, it's better for you to be a jade-faced little overlord." Then he stopped laughing and said seriously: "In the coming year, you will send a messenger, and your disciples will also live, if you don't plan in advance, you will be good-looking at that time." β
Qin Lei nodded and said, "You really have to plan early, second brother, what do you have in mind?" β
The prince muttered: "The power of the Taiwei Mansion is monstrous, even I have to avoid it for the time being. We can only find another way to stabilize our strength. β
Qin Lei knew that the prince had a plan, so he stopped talking and listened to the prince's speech quietly.
"Since you slaughtered the bow camp and made trouble in the Golden Palace, the fourth child began to jump up and down, trying to rob you of your errand." The prince chuckled and said, "I heard what you told me, and I also discussed with people, and the conclusion is almost the same, the household is indeed a black hole, and anyone who goes has to fall into it." β
Qin Lei let out a 'hmm' and said softly, "That's true." β
The prince continued: "If the fourth child is willing to go, he will be asked to go." Let's get out of here. Then he lowered his voice and said, "In the imperial study these days, several important ministers are discussing a major matter. β
Qin Lei said helplessly: "What's the big deal?" β
The prince said mysteriously: "The new yamen to be formed by the imperial court is said to be at the lowest level of the temple, and it may even be at the level of the ministry of the academy. Much more significant than originally estimated. β
Qin Lei is no longer Bai Ding when he first came to your realm, he knows how important it is to add an institution above the temple level, and how many forces will break the face. He said quietly: "In charge of military intelligence alone, the division level is enough." β
The crown prince chuckled and said, "It stands to reason that this is so, but the Prime Minister thinks that the imperial court's secret spy system is chaotic, each ministry has its own system, the institutions are seriously overlapping, and the efficiency is also very low. Therefore, he suggested that the division should be made into a courtyard, at least at the temple level, to gather the world's secret spies, and to be in charge of internal and external intelligence in a unified manner. In this way, the requirements of the various ministries are aggregated and handled by this court in a unified manner. Not only is it much more efficient, but it can also save a lot of money for the imperial court. β
Qin Lei thought to himself, how could it be so idealistic. He said softly: "Second brother, intelligence is the eyes and ears of the master, and no party dares to give up lightly, and it is completely handed over to others to be responsible." I think Prime Minister Wen, a character who can compete with Taiwei, will not be so naΓ―ve. It must be that the drunkard does not mean to drink. β
The prince nodded and smiled: "Those who care about the Taiwei are also." He patted Qin Lei on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "It's rare that you have such an understanding of intelligence at a young age. Yes, Prime Minister Wen is known as the first wise man in my dynasty, how can Meng Lang act. It's just that if you only add a military intelligence department, you will definitely have to be attached to the Taiwei Mansion, and the worst thing is the military department. He won't do this kind of cheap rival thing. β
Qin Lei chuckled and said, "So I wanted to make a behemoth, so that Li Hun couldn't eat it with dry eyes, but he was still greedy." β
The prince said with a mocking face: "What kind of virtuous and good general, after decades of ups and downs in the court, he has long become a group of silverfish who only know how to compete for fame and fortune." The tone grew more and more indignant.
Qin Lei knew that this master had already regarded the world as his own, so he looked down on others for personal gain. But he has a tight understanding of Prime Minister Taiwei, if he doesn't plan or fight, how will the thousands of officials under the door live? What's in your heart?
Uncle Li said: "The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead." "Just in order to cage the hearts of his subordinates, these two giants who have no promotion and no reward have to fight all the time.
Qin Lei retracted his thoughts and asked, "What is the attitude of the father?" β
The crown prince muttered: "My father has not expressed his position, but it seems to be more inclined to the prime minister's side. Now the two sides are fighting fiercely, and it is estimated that in the end, they will each get half of it. β
Qin Lei shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This time we also want one." β

This chapter is less than 3,000 words, but there is no list recommendation this week, and the younger brother has to do this on the basis of trying not to destroy the integrity of the plot, but ask for a few more times on the homepage. May all donors forgive and be considerate.
I hope you can leave more messages after reading and give the little monk more motivation. There are also those brothers who haven't collected the votes yet, and a little bit of it can make the little monk happy for a long time. It's also a sign of my hard work, thank you.
