The Empress Dowager Wenzhuang said angrily: "How can you say that about Mr. Le? ”

Qin Lei smiled, and when he talked about Le Buyi's unsigning, approving fortunes, and telling hexagrams, he scratched his head a little and said: "Mr. Le is indeed a great talent, but he always likes to put a layer of Shinto on things that make sense," touched his chin, and made a conclusion for Le Buyi: "What do you say?" This person is a little lazy, and his grandson is always afraid that he will suddenly pick a son one day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Empress Dowager Wenzhuang chuckled: "Don't worry, although Mr. Le is uninhibited, he is old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and has a compassionate heart, since he took the initiative to come to the door and said that he wanted to go to you to have a look, he must want to do something, if he really picks on one day, you also let him down." ”

Qin Lei pouted and said, "How do you hear that this Le Buyi is more bullish than his grandson." He said: "It's like opening a store, there is actually a job that is not afraid of the boss being fired, and the boss has to coax him upside down, which is really not a good deal." ”

Wen Zhuang's face gradually became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Child, grandma sent you a sentence: 'Bearing determines the pattern. 'How big things you do, how big you are, you can't do things with a small amount of energy.' After a pause, the old queen mother continued: If you want to be homesick and prosperous, you must have the strength to accommodate contradictions; If you want to devour heaven and earth, you must have the energy to contain heaven and earth. ”

Qin Lei bowed down to be taught, and listened to the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang continue: "For the superior, there must be both obedient and obedient loyal dogs and shrewd and cunning foxes; There must be both a ferocious and murderous wolf, and a tiger that sweeps away thousands of armies. You can't turn off the wolf's ferocity because you like the docility of a dog, or you can't turn off the cunning of a fox because you appreciate the might of a tiger. ”

Qin Lei frowned and said, "Use its long and forgive its short, the child has been taught." ”

Empress Dowager Wenzhuang smiled and said: "Yes, Gongzi Xiaobai forgave Guan Zhong, who assassinated him, and then there was Qi Huangong, the head of the five tyrants; Tang Taizong tolerated Wei Zheng, who was outspoken, and only then did he have the prestige of a generation of heavenly khans. If your grandchildren want to make a career, you have to learn from them. ”

Qin Lei listened to the old empress dowager take Qi Huan Gong and Tang Taizong as examples to encourage herself, and she was slightly happy in her heart, and said more and more respectfully on her face: "Children remember their grandmother's teachings, and they will always remind themselves not to use people according to their preferences, and not to use people with relatives." Meritocracy, meritocracy. ”

Wen Zhuang bowed his head and said: "Good." ”

With a move in his heart, Qin Lei asked faintly: "I don't know which kind of tiger, wolf, fox and dog Mr. Le is?" ”

Empress Dowager Wenzhuang's expression remained unchanged, and she said softly: "Eagle! ”

"Eagle?" Qin Lei repeated softly.

"Yes, it's an eagle. Soaring above the nine heavens, far-sighted, through the heavens and latitudes; It is as swift as lightning, and as fierce as thunder. The wisdom is unparalleled in the world, and the strategy is unique. ”

Qin Lei was not surprised by the evaluation of the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang, from that edict, he could clearly feel the incomparable respect for Le Xianggu. But he was concerned with another question: "How should it be used?" ”

"If you use it for me, you will respect it, if you want to go to it, you will keep it, and if you betray me, you will kill it." The old lady's smile was still kind and kind, but she couldn't stop the coldness between the words.

Qin Lei nodded, and accepted the opinion of the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang, he was still too tender in dealing with some powerful people.

The two grandparents were silent for a while, and Qin Lei remembered and asked, "Grandma called her grandson over, but what's the special thing?" ”

Wen Zhuang smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, but if you want to go to see Your Majesty first, it's a big deal." ”

Qin Leipin smacked: "You mean, I will see you first, and then I will be fine when I go to see Your Majesty?" ”

Wen Zhuang bowed his head and said: "Yes, when I meet your father, I will put the things you want to report on the head of the old woman, and let the old woman follow the scenery." ”

Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "What did you say about the construction of the city in Jingshan? ”

Wen Zhuang nodded and smiled: "Mr. Le told me about that city, do you think a majesty can tolerate being choked by others?" ”

Qin Lei said softly: "This kid has also thought about it, but today it is a struggle between military power and monarchical power, and my father can tolerate it." ”

Wen Zhuang laughed and said: "You kid has a very vicious eye, that's right, your father will tolerate it." As he spoke, he said lightly: "But it is inevitable that I will have a bad heart, and I will put you in another book from now on." ”

Qin Lei said: "It's indeed a problem, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, especially for my royal family, it is a one-step winner, and it is imperative." The child hopes to convince his father. ”

Wen Zhuang smiled: "Go, remember, it was the old woman who asked you to say it, so that you can have both." ”

Qin Lei nodded gratefully, said a few thoughtful words, and then withdrew from the meditation room.

When he came out again, he couldn't see Nian Yao's shadow, Qin Lei felt a little regretful in his heart, and was just about to leave Cining Palace, but he saw the old eunuch Qiu smiling at him in the corner of the hall.

Qin Lei walked over with a smile and said softly, "How is Old Qiu lately?" ”

Old Eunuch Qiu's face twitched, and he smiled bitterly: "It's not good." As he spoke, he took out a small wooden box from his arms, handed it to Qin Lei with both hands and said, "This is given to you by the Queen Mother," and said with a distressed smile: "I heard that you are going to do something big, and the old slave has also done his best in it." ”

Qin Lei took it with a smile, tore off the cover of the box, opened it and took a look, only to see that inside was a neat stack of Neifu treasure banknotes, which were four fingers thick. At the top is a large ticket with a denomination of 10,000 taels of official silver.

Stretching out his hand and twisting on the stack of treasure bills, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid there are two million taels, right?" ”

Old Eunuch Qiu said distressedly: "Of them, 1.4 million taels is her old man's savings for decades. Coupled with the old slave's help, it is a huge amount of 2.27 million taels, which should be enough for the prince to use for a while. ”

Qin Lei shook his head and said: "I'll take the *** money, and the 870,000 taels of Qiu Lao should be kept for the elderly." ”

The old eunuch Qiu excused himself and smiled: "The old slave is half cut into the ground, and he has no children and no daughters, what is the use of asking for this money?" As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized, smoky yellow silk cloth from his arms, stroked the baby's little face and rubbed it gently, and asked in a low voice, "Does the prince know what this is?" ”

Qin Lei saw that there was a gold-painted dragon claw on the head of the cloth, and asked softly, "Wang Qi?" ”

Eunuch Qiu shook his head and said, "It's a military flag." He said in remembrance: "This is the military flag of the Qin family's soldiers. Seventeen years ago, the old queen mother held this military flag, led us to guard the central capital, and kept hundreds of thousands of Qichu coalition troops out of the city. ”

Qin Lei said softly: "Presumably the old hero at that time? ”

Eunuch Qiu's pure white eyebrows raised, and his voice was unusually high: "Although the old slave is responsible for protecting the Queen Mother, he also rushed to the city several times at critical moments, holding a seven-foot broadsword and cutting off the heads of dozens of enemies!" After a pause, he said angrily: "That is really the most beautiful and fastest life in the life of the old slave." "It's also the day when it's most like a man, Eunuch Qiu said silently in his heart.

Qin Lei said softly: "What is the entrustment of the old man? ”

Eunuch Qiu smiled and said, "I only hope that the prince can build Jingshan City into a strong city and become the foundation of our Qin clan's disciples." ”

It seems that the construction of the city has been planned for a long time, Qin Lei said in his heart. nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the old man." He took out 500,000 taels from the box and said with a smile: "The money sent by the lonely king has no reason to get it back." ”

The old eunuch Qiu said in his heart, this master is determined to buy me. After prevaricating for a while, he couldn't help it, so he accepted 200,000 taels and said with a smile: "These are already endless in the next life, and the rest is also waste paper, so the prince will take it to do business." ”

Qin Lei put it away and arched his hand: "Thank you for hating old Gaoyi." The old eunuch Qiu smiled and arched his hand: "The old slave Xie Wang Ye gave this opportunity to realize his dream." The two said a few more words about Nian Yao, and Qin Lei said goodbye and left Cining Palace.

Out of Cining Palace, according to the instructions of the old eunuch Qiu, Qin Lei went to the Zichen Hall in the west, saying that Emperor Zhaowu was listening to the Taoist priest lecture there.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, when he arrived outside the Zichen Palace, the old eunuch Zhuo hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "What kind of wind blew the fifth master here?" ”

Qin Lei patted the old eunuch Zhuo's hand, and a thousand taels of treasure money was casually rewarded along his sleeve, and then he smiled and said: "Come to ask my father for peace, I haven't seen it anywhere, and I heard about it all the way." ”

Old Eunuch Zhuo pointed inside, and whispered, "Your Majesty is listening to the Taoist priest in the shop. ”

Qin Lei said with a smile: "Father and Emperor have all opportunities, it's good to relax your mind." That's just here. Eunuch Zhuo welcomed Qin Lei to the side hall with a smile, and ordered someone to serve tea, while he himself accompanied him to talk.

The two of them chatted a few words, and Qin Lei asked curiously: "I don't know what my father has heard?" ”

This is not a secret, the old eunuch Zhuo said: "The Sutra of Immortality that the Heavenly Master of Nanhua Mountain talked about how to live forever and live forever. A while ago, His Majesty also asked the Inner Government to purchase medicinal materials, saying that the immortal master was going to open a furnace to refine the Immortal Pill. ”

Qin Lei listened, 'oh', and asked in a deep voice, "This is the first time I've heard of it." ”

Old Eunuch Zhuo thought back and said: "It has been more than three months since the crown prince introduced Nanhua Heavenly Master into the palace, but His Majesty only saw him last month," Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said: "This Heavenly Master is afraid that he will have a little Taoism, although the time is still short, but His Majesty's body and bones have improved a lot recently, so he has become more and more obedient to him, and today he went in at the end of the day." "The old eunuch Zhuo's surname is Zhuo, and he is naturally a little different from Qin Lei.

Qin Lei frowned and said, "Of course, if you learn some ways to maintain health and fitness, I'm afraid that my father will be too ...... to Dan Dao I loved it. "This is the Son of Heaven, be careful when you speak.

But it was enough for the old eunuch to understand what he meant, and shook his head slightly and said: "Except for the Queen Mother and her old man, this matter is not easy for others to persuade, and the Queen Mother doesn't care, we can only be in a hurry as slaves." ”

Qin Lei knew that what he said was the truth, and the dissuasion was not to let the emperor pursue immortality, no matter what the result was, the emperor would definitely be unhappy in his heart, even if he didn't suffer at that time, he would inevitably wear small shoes in the future, and only the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang, the emperor's mother, said that he was fine.

Hearing that Wenzhuang didn't care, after thinking for a while, Qin Lei said softly: "Alone will check the bottom of this Heavenly Master first." At this time, there was a melodious bell in the main hall, but it was the emperor who listened to the scriptures. The two glanced at each other, and quickly got up and went out to wait.

Emperor Zhaowu came out and saw that Qin Lei was a little surprised, and said strangely: "You don't stay in Jingshan, what are you doing when you come back?" Qin Lei smiled shyly: "I miss the emperor's grandmother and father, so I came back to take a look." ”

Emperor Zhaowu knew that he was laughing, and smiled: "Just you can speak." As he spoke, he pointed to the purple-robed Taoist priest on the side and introduced: "This is the Qingxuzi Immortal Master of Nanhua Mountain, you should hold the nephew ceremony." ”

With the prior reminder of the old eunuch Zhuo, Qin Lei was not surprised, and bowed his hand to the old Taoist priest with a childish face and good looks: "Xiao Wang is polite." ”

The Taoist priest smiled slightly, and returned the salute to Qin Lei: "The prince must not kill the poor monk." It seemed that he didn't want to contact Qin Leiduo, so he confessed and went into the hall.

Seeing him leaving, Emperor Zhaowu pointed to the path in the courtyard and said with a smile: "Accompany me for a walk." Qin Lei hurriedly helped Emperor Zhaowu's arm, bowed him and led him down the steps, then straightened up, followed behind him, and wandered along the winding path.

The father and son recounted a few gossips, and Emperor Zhaowu asked about Qin Lei's purpose of entering Beijing, Qin Lei Gongsheng said about the disobedience of his relatives, and Emperor Zhaowu twisted his beard when he heard this: "Just take this opportunity to clear those silverfish out of the soldiers." In this matter, his attitude towards the Queen Mother is diametrically opposed.

Qin Lei said with a smile: "What my father said is, but it is not good to kill so many relatives with one rod, and the children try hard again, if it still doesn't work, let them all get out." ”

Emperor Zhaowu lowered his eyelids and said lightly: "You are the commander of the great sect and the clan soldiers, you can do whatever you want, just don't miss the big thing." "He's talking about the two military exercises in the autumn of the coming year and the spring of the year after.

Qin Lei hurriedly said 'don't dare', and said softly: "I just came to ask my father for peace, and I was first called by the emperor's grandmother to give a lecture, her old man was very interested in the clan soldiers, and asked me about the Jingshan camp." ”

Seeing that he looked like a good baby who asked for instructions early and reported late, Emperor Zhaowu's anger because of the problem of clan soldiers also disappeared, and he smiled: "When the Queen Mother was guarding the central capital, the older generation of clan soldiers made efforts, and it is normal for the old people to miss the old. ”

Qin Lei nodded with a smile, and said in a hesitant tone: "But the Queen Mother has a different opinion on the reconstruction of the Jingshan camp of Erchen. ”

Emperor Zhaowu glanced at Qin Lei and asked slowly, "What do you think?" ”

Qin Lei scratched his head and smiled: "The child just wants to rebuild that big camp, just live and train the soldiers." ”

Emperor Zhaowu let out a noncommittal 'oh' and asked, "What does your imperial grandmother think?" ”

Qin Lei gestured with his hands, and said with a sad face: "Her old man wants the child to build a city there, it is still very big, but the child is a little puzzled. "The performance of the actor has been completely lived, and I can't see the hints of artificiality.

Emperor Zhaowu didn't answer immediately, and walked a distance before he sighed lightly: "Young people are always a little inconsiderate about the problem, and the old people have to pick up the gaps." ”

Qin Lei was overjoyed in his heart, and said in a more aggrieved tone: "Actually, it's good to build a city, it's more comfortable to live like this." But that's too labor-intensive, I'm afraid that after the spring performance of the next year, it won't be built. "Regarding the construction of the city, Qin Lei only said to the third and fourth children, even to the thousands of soldiers, he only said that the advance can be attacked and retreated, and it can be defended for all generations, and he did not mention the matter of Jingshui River. And the third and fourth guys were both heartbroken by Emperor Zhaowu, so he naturally didn't worry about the words reaching Emperor Zhaowu's ears.

Emperor Zhaowu only said that Qin Lei didn't know the mystery of the Jingshui River, and pretended to be disgusted: "Children are short-sighted, running the country is an eternal business, what is a year or two years?" ”

Qin Lei scratched his head and said, "What does the father mean?" ”

"Build!" Emperor Zhaowu stopped and said resolutely: "And build it well!" Another day, I asked the officials of the Ministry of Industry to do a good job of surveying and designing. ”

Qin Lei said in his heart, don't you have a price, isn't it a net mess to let those two knives go over? Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "The imperial grandmother gave the drawings, saying that they were made by Guiguzi more than ten years ago." ”

When Emperor Zhaowu heard this, he was pleasantly surprised: "The product of Guigu must be a high-quality product, which is just a matter of saving trouble." "Let Qin Lei give the drawings to the Ministry of Industry for detailed reference, as long as it is really made by Guiguzi, he will save some exploration and can start work directly. In other words, in more modern terms, it means that Guiguzi has the highest engineering design qualifications, and it can be launched directly without demonstration and review.

Emperor Zhaowu even if he took over the project, although he couldn't get the money at that time, Qin Lei had to think about it, but the meaning of this kind of passive contribution and active contribution is very different, the former means that Qin Lei is loyal to the monarch and solves problems, which is a patriotic move of loyalty to the monarch; The latter is ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned, can it be the same?

These two major events were considered to be over, and the results were basically satisfactory, so Qin Lei took advantage of the situation and proposed to take the fourth child to Jingshan to stay. For this kind of love for brothers, especially the brothers who were once not harmonious, Emperor Zhaowu naturally did not refuse, and also greatly praised Qin Lei.

Emperor Zhaowu left Qin Lei to eat before sending him to see Concubine Jin. Concubine Jin was not in the palace either, but found her from Ruguifei, and accompanied the two mothers to talk, it was not too early, Qin Lei refused to stay for dinner, said goodbye to his mother, and left the inner palace.

He's got some business to do.
