Tuoba Rui sat on the throne, looked at the prime minister lying below, and said, "They agreed so quickly"

This is not an inquiry, so naturally there is no need for the Prime Minister to answer, but the Prime Minister, who is exempt from speaking, has a bad premonition.

"Qi Gu didn't care about this harmony. Li'er is Lone's most beloved daughter, and she is really reluctant to marry her to the Jin Kingdom, but compared with Lone's world, what is a daughter? ”

"The Jin people have use value, and the Northwest Army is a strong army in the world, so if they must complete the harmony, Lone can only agree. Because Lone doesn't want to go to war. My Prime Minister, you may not know that the one from the Jin Kingdom values face more than anything else. ”

"Although he can be shameless at any time."

However, he did not allow others to say that he was shameless. He wouldn't even allow anyone else to have this idea. More often than not, he behaved like a benevolent, generous king. ”

"We can't go to war with the Jin Kingdom, so we can only make peace with our relatives. The Jin people urgently need harmony because of vanity and the stability of the frontier, while loneliness and relatives are to completely master the grassland! ”

"The Jin people and the Qin people will soon go to war again, Prime Minister, do you know why Lone said that?"

The prime minister replied truthfully: "The minister does not know. ”

"It's because of the turmoil in the southwest."

"Please also make it clear to Your Majesty."

Tuoba Rui smiled and said, "Look at you, you people, only pay attention to whether your own cattle and sheep are more or less, whether your own soldiers are strong or weak, whether your own pasture has increased or decreased, and whether your own business is profitable or lost, few people really care about big things." ”

The Prime Minister instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Do you all think that the excuses for shirking the Jin people during this time are all fake?"

Is it true that the Prime Minister's heart is not fake?

"Hehe, it's all really the turmoil in the south, it's the work of the Xi people"

The Prime Minister wiped the sweat from his forehead. This time it was scary, but more than that, it was shocking.

"How is that possible? Xi Ren called? ”

Tuoba Rui smiled gently.

There are two reasons why the Prime Minister reacted in this way.

First, I'm afraid, Xi Ren called? What should I do?

The second is that I don't believe it, how can Xi people fight it? We are so strong.

The first reaction is naturally damned, and the second one looks a lot stronger, but it's still not what Tuoba Rui wants to see, so it's still damned.

Because for him, both are cowardice.

Panic itself is a lack of self-confidence.

When the Xi people came, I swung my knife and cut them, why be afraid?

So Tuoba Rui smiled. There was not the slightest sign of anger.

But as soon as the Prime Minister opened his mouth, he knew that he had said the wrong thing. And after seeing Tuobari's smile, the Prime Minister felt the coldness of death even more.

"It's not the Xi people who are coming, but the remnants of the Xi people are causing the internal strife of the Xi people, and Mu Han Bolu is dead, and his son is wandering on the grassland, plundering everywhere, and targeting us."

Despite the fact that his brain was already a mess, Pei Peiluo tried his best to analyze the hidden information in Tuoba Rui's words, in order to be able to pick up the most correct words in the shortest possible time, and then make himself appear not so incompetent.

However, he was frightened twice in succession, and his head couldn't turn around at all.

Tuoba Rui looked at Pei Peiluo, who was sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "My Prime Minister, you don't need to say anything, just listen to a lone person at this time, so don't worry about anything, take it easy, yes, breathe steadily, your disordered and heavy breathing will disturb Lone's speech"

The Prime Minister received a gold medal for avoiding death, and in between breaths, he restored his breathing to the level of a normal person.

"You know, the Xi people are in civil strife, and the little prince must want to take revenge, if there are no Qin people's hands and feet behind this, Lone will not want the Jin people's dowry! Well, after that, the Qin people only need to support the poor little prince in secret, and they can make the Xi people have endless trouble. If I were the emperor of Qin, then I would only need to use some money, food, and weapons to achieve the goal of peace in the backyard. ”

"Backyard tranquility isn't very apt, but that's what it means."

"So, now that the pressure on the Qin people has decreased, the trouble of the Jin people is coming, Prime Minister, do you know what loneliness means?"

Pei Peiluo didn't speak, lying on the ground motionless.

"Lone has given you permission to speak."

"Your Majesty means that the Qin people have no worries and will be able to go east with all their might! There must be a battle between Qin and Jin! My royal court can sit and reap the benefits! ”

Although Tuoba Rui did not allow him to speak casually, Pei Peiluo was always ready to be able to answer at any time.

You can not speak, but you can't miss the call when it is critical.

Tuoba nodded in satisfaction.

"Worries, that's a more apt word than a backyard or something."

"You're right, Prime Minister, but there's one place where you're wrong."

Pei Peiluo was not nervous, because he knew that he had said something wrong, and that mistake was deliberately exposed by him. And this mistake, he is confident, is also what Tuoba Rui wants him to make.

Sure enough, Tuoba Rui smiled again.

"It's not that my royal court sits on the fishing profits, but that I am humble!"

Pei Peiluo showed a shocked face, and then was overjoyed.

Tuoba Rui laughed out loud.

With this laughter, Pei Peiluo knew that he had escaped a catastrophe.

He admired his wit and threw himself into his own five bodies.

At the same time, he had a deeper fear of Tuoba Rui.

It turns out that His Majesty knows everything. Although accepting bribes and taking benefits from both sides were not explicitly stated, Tuoba Rui had already warned him very seriously.

This warning could only be once, and if he crossed the line again with his hands and feet, or if his appetite grew a little, he would be greeted by the torture of trampling on ten thousand horses.

Tuoba Rui wants to unify Xianbei, not the current unification similar to the alliance situation, but the real unification. He wanted both the Helou Department and the Yuwen Department to be his real subordinates, not nominal vassals.

Naturally, not by means of war, but by money.

Of course it won't be buying.

It is through business that they become inseparable from the royal court.

Here's why trade in the Northwest is so important.

Pei Peiluo knows his talent. He was not a very good politician, but he was a brilliant businessman.

This is his greatest value - this value can play a huge role in the next few years or even a dozen years - and it is also the greatest reliance that allows Tuoba Rui to tolerate him.

It's not going to be a short process, so Pepero has reason to celebrate - he won't have to worry about his life for a long time, and he'll have a lot of power.

At this time, he remembered what Tuoba Rui said, about Tuoba Li'er.

However, what do the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the royal family have to do with the prime minister?

In the Jin capital, Xie Yi drank with Emperor Jin in the Imperial Garden.

"It's been a long time since I've had such a good drink! It's been twenty years since I was a pillar countryman? ”

Xie Yi's face was flushed, and he stroked his beard and smiled: "Hahaha, the last time Feng Zhi was born, and he drank in Huangjing Tower for a night!" ”

Emperor Jin also smiled, there was a trace of unnaturalness in his smile, of course, it was more of a remembrance.

It's not natural, it's not because Xie Yi said something about going to Qinglou and staying up all night, but because of that drinking, he really drank a little too much and made a lot of ugliness.

Emperor Jin smiled: "It's been twenty years, and now your nephews are so old, heh, it's been so long"

"I was young, too! I have also whipped my prancing horse, and I have also scolded Fang Xuan! I have also been dashing! I have never regretted it. ”

"The teacher said that young people can't grow up if they don't make mistakes. The master once said that if you make a mistake once, you can't count it as a bad seed. ”

"Do you remember?"

Emperor Jin raised his head and poured a large sip of wine.

The teacher he said was naturally Xie Yi's father, Mrs. Xie, and his master was Sima Deguang, who had died.

"Naturally, I remember that the master is no longer there."

Emperor Jin drank another bowl of wine and said, "I have made mistakes, but I have not regretted them!" ”

Xie Yi's eyes were hazy, as if he hadn't heard this sentence at all, he also drank a big bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and laughed: "Happy!" Again! ”

So the two old men drank wine in the imperial garden.

Princess Jinyang was at the queen's mother's place, a little worried, and said: "My father has an old disease, and he hurts his body by drinking. ”

The queen mother is embroidering, which is going to be used to make a cotton jacket for Xie Rafter - the entire royal family, except for Emperor Jin and Xie Rafter, no one can enjoy the clothes made by the queen mother herself. Princess Jinyang and King Qi had it when they were young, but now they naturally don't.

Smiling slightly, the queen said: "It's okay, your father and your uncle are lifelong friends, and they haven't drunk like this for many years, so they will talk about their hearts, so he will go." Old illness or something, you don't know your father's self-discipline on weekdays? He doesn't care, let's not worry about it. ”

"But"

Princess Jinyang was about to say more, but was interrupted by the queen's mother.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about them. Let's take a look, is it better to match the flowers on the rafters' little jacket with green leaves or cyan? ”

Princess Jinyang stomped her feet and vented her little temper, so she came over, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's still green." ”

In the imperial garden, Emperor Jin and Xie Yi were drunk, and in Yongchun and the palace, the queen mother and Princess Jinyang were discussing what color was more suitable for the little Xie Rafter.

In Weihou Mansion, Xie Sheng checked the list sent by the Ministry of Industry with a little headache, and pulled his beard to figure out how to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall to make up all the expenses of the lecture hall. Sima Shi was boiling porridge, and when the preparation was ready, he would send it to Xie Shang.

Xie Shence was also in the study, reading a piece of information on Tiqi with a candle, and picking out the important ones for tomorrow's discussion. Wang Jiehua is decocting medicine, Caiyi and Xiaoyuer Xiaoyeer are making supper.

After a long time, Xie Shence put down the file in his hand, stretched his waist, walked out of the study, breathed in the night air, and felt relaxed for a while.

Well, if there is really a shadow of the Qin people in the civil strife of the Xi people, since this is the case, it is easy to make a fuss.

Entering the front yard, Xie Shence saw Wang Jiehua holding a tray with a medicine bowl on it.

Wang Jiehua smiled slightly, and Xie Shence looked bitter.
