"I haven't heard of any waste prince who can live for a long time," Qin Lei's eyes flashed with a faint light, and his voice became erratic: "If you can survive for a long time, you have to burn high incense." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What then?" The crown prince sighed and said: "People are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat." ”

"Fight!" Qin Lei's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his whole person also regained his brilliance, and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, the result won't be worse, why not give it a go?" "He can't let himself become the only target, he wants to pull a fellow sufferer to accompany him to suffer, this is Qin Lei's plan.

But how shrewd is the prince? In an instant, he understood Qin Lei's thoughts, and slowly shook his head and said, "I understand what the fifth brother means, and I will never let the boss take this prince of course, so you don't have to be afraid of me backing down." ”

Qin Lei's face was a little hot, and he paused before he said honestly: "If I am alone, I will not be able to cope with it." ”

The prince smiled understandingly, patted his arm, and said with a smile: "I have figured it out these days, if I hand over a country that is peaceful in the world to me, I can still take care of it, but now I can't cope with this kind of situation surrounded by wolves and chaos." He said with a smile and said: "Xu Shao once commented on Wei Wu as 'a capable minister who rules the world and a hero in troubled times,' brother, who can afford it?" ”

Qin Lei shook his head without hesitation and said, "I can't wait for Cao Gong." ”

The prince bowed his head and said: "Yes, but if you give you the second half of the sentence and the first half of the sentence to me, it is just right." ”

"Nengchen? Hero? Qin Lei's heart moved, he knew that the prince was taking the opportunity to show his heart, but he shook his head very self-consciously and said: "I'm not a hero, because I'm not ruthless enough." ”

When the prince heard this, he smiled and said, "This is better, I can tolerate me, the former prince, as your minister." ”

Qin Lei's face changed suddenly, and a smile froze on his face.

The crown prince smiled as if he had never said anything, "If I abdicate now, it will definitely not fall on your head, so we all have to wait." ”

Qin Lei's heart contracted violently a few times, and he sighed and said, "Second brother, if you really don't have this heart, just retreat, there is no need to take this risk anymore." ”

The prince shook his head stubbornly, and a trace of fierceness flashed on his handsome face: "No, I won't let the boss fall if I can't see it," and sighed again: "At least for now...... You can't compete for the boss. ”

Qin Lei wanted to persuade a few more words, but the prince got up slowly, and said with a grim face: "I will go back to Zhongdu tomorrow, and I will definitely not let the boss usurp the throne." With that, he strode away.

Looking at the bright yellow back, Qin Lei was really confused, he didn't know what this guy was thinking, was it really resentful? Are you fooling Lao Tzu? He thought through gritted teeth. No way, he still remembers the allusion that the second child used himself as a gunman, for fear of being tricked a second time.

Smelling the fragrance of lilies, Qin Lei stretched out his arm and took Yunsheng's soft and boneless delicate body into his arms. Rubbing his chin slowly against the top of her head, he asked softly, "If someone lied to you once, would you still believe him?" ”

"Is that you?" Yun Sheng suddenly became nervous, grabbed Qin Lei's shirt tightly, and said with a sad face: "What have you deceived others?" Can't you say anything explicitly......"

Qin Lei sweated profusely and said, "It's not me, it's someone else." ”

Yunsheng's body obviously relaxed, adjusted a comfortable posture, and said simply: "Believe." ”

"Why?" Qin Lei chuckled, he was very interested in the girl's unique logic.

Stretching out his white and tender fingers and drawing a few circles on Qin Lei's chest, Yun Sheng said as a matter of course: "Isn't trust a virtue?" ”

"But he lied to you," Qin Lei cried and laughed: "You're not afraid of being fooled again?" ”

"Even if you fall for it again, it's a liar's mistake! Is it still wrong to give trust to others? Yunshang flashed her big eyes and said with an innocent face: "I feel that giving trust to others has nothing to do with whether the other party betrays me or not." ”

Qin Lei found that everyone has a generation gap...... Difficult communication: "Why can't you care? ”

Resting his little head in the crook of Qin Lei's arm, Yun Sheng squinted his eyes comfortably, and said in a lazy voice: "People are very powerful, from the beginning of being sensible, all things related to me are decided by myself." He said with a serious face: "Because people don't want to be an old witch who doubts everything, so I trust others...... Not because of anything else, just because I want to believe. ”

"This ...... Seems to be treated with discrimination, right? "Qin Lei found that everyone has a generation gap.

"But before it happened, how do you know if he's lying to you?" Yunshang said seriously.

Qin Lei stopped discussing this issue with Yun Shang, although he appreciated her attitude towards the world, but he couldn't learn from it. In this deceitful battlefield, honest people do not live long. However, he had no intention of correcting the good-natured girl, believing that he was capable of protecting her from harm.

"What's wrong, am I wrong?" Seeing that he was silent, Yunshang asked timidly.

"No, you're doing a good job," Qin Lei said with a smile: "There must be a good person in our family." ”

"Well, I don't think you're a good person, either." Yunshang said very seriously: "So I have to be a good person." ”

Qin Lei said embarrassedly: "Actually, I'm okay......"

"Really?" Yunshang said quietly: "Then what is this?" As he spoke, he raised his little hand for him to see.

Qin Lei looked down and saw that it was the piece of jasper given by Yun Luo, and secretly exclaimed: 'Oops! Coughing lightly, before he could speak, Yun Sheng pursed his lips and said, "When you cough, you want to deceive people......

Qin Lei was sweating on her forehead, it seemed that she was already immune to general means, so she had to come up with a killer weapon.

But seeing that his originally hard facial contours gradually became softer, his eyes were sad and lonely, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, like a child who had done something wrong. He just looked at Yunsheng's delicate ...... in silence Jaw, deadly melancholy.

Yunshang was immediately attacked, her eyes gradually misty, her pink cherry lips twitched slightly, and she stretched out her soft arms and wrapped them tightly around him, never wanting to interrogate him again.

"Yunshang," seeing that the foreplay was enough, Qin Lei finally spoke, his voice was low and magnetic, with a strong demagogic flavor: "You have to believe me, I always only have you in my heart." ”

Yunsheng's eyes radiated a light of surprise, and his little head rubbed repeatedly in his arms without speaking.

"As for the jasper...... I ask you to forgive me. Qin Lei's eyes showed a light of shame, and he said softly: "I did something wrong. ”

The girl closed her eyes and nodded, her long and curled eyelashes fluttered slightly, and murmured, "Even if you lie to me, I am willing to let you deceive." "She is mentally prepared for her lover Princess Shang.

Qin Lei sighed lightly and said, "I'm not sorry for you, I'm just sorry for your earnest teaching." Slowly stroked the girl's cheek, and said softly: "You have been calling me until I want to be an honest person, an upright person, and a person who is free from low-level interests, but I obviously didn't do it." ”

Yunshang's heart was relieved, and he didn't care if he had been taught or not, he wanted to be a pure person. Instead, he asked repeatedly, "What did you do?" Tell me about it? Hearing that the lover didn't seem to be cheating, the fire of gossip in the girl's heart was burning......

Glancing at the jasper still lying in her hand, Qin Lei said in a low voice: "You know, my situation in the Chu State is very bad, in order to be able to return to China to see you, I decided to take risks and escape from Shenjing!" ”

This sentence made Yunshang extremely ashamed, lowered his little head, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I'm too willful......"

Qin Lei shook his head magnanimously and continued to recall: "But the road ahead is full of thorns, and dark clouds block the way back, so I have to make a ...... The design took the Emperor of Chu's favorite princess Langyu as a hostage, and held her hostage for thousands of miles, until the Dongting Lake, Marshal Bosheng's receiving fleet came over, and I released her to ......"

As he spoke, he glanced at the jasper again, and said silently in his heart: "Xiao Yunluo, the so-called dead friend is not dead and poor, for the sake of my brother and my lifelong happiness, I can't say that I want to bury you once." Then he swallowed and foamed: "You know, the princess is very difficult to serve, she needs gold bowls and silver chopsticks for eating, silk and satin for dressing, and there must be maids and maids and old mothers, which are very extravagant." ”

Yunshang covered her mouth and chuckled: "Pure nonsense, you are fleeing, not on patrol, how can you be so particular?" ”

Qin Lei thought about it for a while, so he changed his words and said, "Even if it's simpler, it's very expensive." He wanted to slap himself in the mouth when he said that...... Yun Luo was wearing dirty and tattered clothes, wearing a big braid like a broomstick, and the pitiful appearance of drinking and drinking in small sips was clearly reflected in his mind, as if she was silently questioning him: 'Do you think I spent money?' ’

"That's right," but Yunshang hadn't seen that tragic scene, and believed it: "People in the palace are very picky about eating and dressing, and it's normal to spend a lot of money." ”

Qin Lei nodded with a clear conscience and said, "Yes, in order to feed her, I took out the last copper plate, used the wine jug, and replaced it with high-quality white noodles to steam the steamed buns for her," and sighed as she said: "As a result, she didn't say that the inside of the steamed bun was too thick, so she tore some steamed buns and ate them." ”

"Just eat steamed buns?" Yun Shang's eyes widened and said, "This princess is a little miserable, right?" ”

"And dip it in soy sauce." Qin Lei hurriedly explained. Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, she hurriedly went straight to the point and said: "Later, she couldn't help it, so she gave me this piece of jade and asked me to exchange it for some firewood, rice, oil and salt subsidies." After speaking, he spread his hands with an innocent face and said, "That's what happened." ”

"Then why didn't you exchange money?" Yunshang will be suspicious: "Reluctant? ”

"It's not reluctant, it's not," Qin Lei shook his head vigorously and said: "Do you think, we were fugitives at the time, and the whole Chu country was wanted, if I take this thing out, what if someone finds out?" ”

"Then give it back to her?" Before Qin Lei could answer, Yun Sheng denied himself: "But according to your character, you won't pay it back." Finally, he put away the jasper with confidence, kissed Qin Lei on the cheek and said, "I have wronged the eldest master, and the slave family will not compensate the eldest master." ”

After a long time, he still didn't get the piece of jade back, but Qin Lei didn't dare to talk anymore, and said with a forced smile: "You have to believe me, I am loyal." ”

The two laughed for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest, since Qin Lei decided to come to the door to propose, there was no hurry at this time...... Of course, this is Yunshang's idea.

Early the next morning, Qin Lei said goodbye to his elder brother and went north with the prince, his destination was Tangzhou, but he also had to pass through Jingzhou Mansion.

The carriage ran on the wide and flat avenues of the countryside, as if running on the stone road of the middle capital, and there were no bumps. Qin Lei said to Zhuo Wenzheng with satisfaction: "You Jiangbei have really worked infrastructure, from Xiangyang to Jingzhou, the road is smooth, and the car is flying, and it should be evaluated this year." ”

Zhuo Wenzheng suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Then the humble position will thank the prince on behalf of the two thousand subordinates." Saying that, he really kowtowed to Qin Lei.

Qin Lei smiled and asked him to get up, and the prince on the other side was puzzled: "It's fun to be like this if you evaluate it well?" ”

"You explain to the crown prince." Qin Lei said with a smile.

Zhuo Wenzheng responded with a smile, and said to the prince: "The prince doesn't know, our two southern provinces don't listen to the court, and the household department has already cut off our money. ”

The prince didn't believe it: "I see that you are living a very nourishing ...... one by one."

"That's because the Fuxing Yamen allocates funds to pay us salaries," Zhuo Wen explained with a strange face: "You also know that the Fuxing Yamen is a union of the wealthy families of our two southern provinces, and it has always been impossible to buy anyone's accounts except the prince, even I, the governor, have to laugh and talk." ”

Qin Lei kicked him and scolded with a smile: "The complaints are too strong to prevent bowel breakage, why don't you talk about their goodness?" "The confrontation and cooperation between the government and the revival yamen coexist, and Qin Lei knows this situation...... Or rather, he caused it on purpose. For many years to come, as long as one side is strong, he will support the other, so that neither of them can overpower the other.

Zhuo Wenzheng sneered: "Of course, there are many benefits, for example, the official's salary is much higher than that of officials at the same level in other cities. It's not a boast, the governors of other provinces don't get as much as any prefect we have. ”

"That's ......" the prince groaned slightly: "Zhuo Futai, don't you don't like to listen to what I say." ”

Zhuo Wenzheng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The prince said that it is okay, listen to the teachings." ”

"As far as I know, in the income of local officials, Yulu is almost negligible," Glancing at the innocent Zhuo Wenzheng, the prince said slowly: "No matter how high the salary is, they won't take it to heart." ”

Qin Lei nodded, and the prince said again: "They will also pay 'Bing Respect' and 'Tan Respect' to the Jingguan, and the amount of gifts alone is far from what Yu Lu can afford." "Perhaps because he was too close to the Imperial Prosecutor's Court, the prince hated the officials for their greed for blasphemy and the common people.

Zhuo Wenzheng shrunk his neck and said with a wry smile: "The prince is talking about other places, our south has long been twisted by the prince." ”

"Oh, tell me about it?" The prince said with interest: "Can you really solve this eternal problem?" ”

"Revive the Yamen." Zhuo Wenzheng gave the answer, cleared his throat and explained: "Every year, in our south, the Fuxing Yamen sets governance goals, allocates payments, and supervises the completion of the government, and can also participate in the impeachment of officials' violations and stop the measures they think are inappropriate, which has great power. At the end of the year, according to the achievement of the goal, we will decide whether to honor the promised year-end bonus, and formulate the standard of our Jiangbei for the next year. ”

"That?" The prince said in disbelief: "Isn't this the Taishang Yamen?" ”

Qin Lei nodded helplessly and said: "What you said is good, but the two southern provinces were originally the four giants who had the final say, and now it is better for two hundred families to discuss it together, and the situation is already much better." ”

The crown prince will be suspicious: "Brother, this ...... Can corruption really be eradicated? ”

"No way, just try to minimize." Qin Lei shook his head and said with a resigned smile: "Although I have separated the Fuxing Yamen and the government as much as possible, there are still inextricable links between the two, and some gray things are born here. Saying that, he glanced at Zhuo Wenzheng and said: "The lonely king is not a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, but you must work hard and be cautious. ”

Zhuo Wenzheng hurriedly responded.
