This time, the dream was not like it was gone halfway before, but after it was completely done, Lin Yiqing woke up, but Lin Yiqing felt inexplicable.

"Lin Yizhe, you dead ghost, don't come out to explain it to me!" Lin Yiqing is very strange why these three dreams that seem to be unrelated but have some kind of connection are related to Lin Yizhe's sister-in-law Li Sizhu, in the last dream, he said that he had "that meaning" to Li Sizhu, in fact, it was more of a casual joke after later generations saw a beautiful woman, and he didn't take it seriously, but the dream just now seemed to hint at something to him!

Lin Yiqing sat up a little annoyed, and he was the only one on the bed at this time - in order to comfort Chiho Kirino, He Yunqing asked Chiho Kirino to sleep with her, and at the same time it was convenient for the two mothers to take care of their respective children; Iwasaki Yuka has been busy working at the trading company and has not returned, and the Mochizuki sisters are still on the front line, fighting with the ninjas with Murata Shinpachi's army, at this time, although he has a group of wives and concubines, but no one is by his side.

Could it be that it was because of the lack of women's company that he dreamed of Li Sizhu and things related to her in his dreams?

Where is this?

Lin Yiqing shook his head with a wry smile, he sighed, and lay down again, his mind had returned to the situation in front of him.

There is no doubt that Oyama Tsunara's plan is the best way to delay the entry of the Japanese-Russian forces into Nagasaki at present, and he has already decided that as soon as it is dawn, he will go to the secret liaison point of the Rothchild family in Nagasaki and send a secret telegram to He Ruzhang, who is far away in Tokyo, asking him to come forward in the name of the Qianguo government to promote Oyama Tsunara's plan of "all countries to jointly administer Nagasaki."

Lin Yiqing was thinking about the details. A figure outside the window suddenly flashed.

"My lord. Why didn't you sleep? Shiori Mochizuki's voice came. Immediately afterwards, she quietly appeared in front of Lin Yiqing.

Lin Yiqing heard her voice a little hoarse, thinking that she was injured, he saw that her armor in front of her was gone, although there were blood stains on her body, but it didn't look like she was injured, and the smell of gunpowder on her body was not so strong, and his heart was a little calm. Pulled back the quilt that covered him.

"It's cold outside, come in and talk." Lin Yiqing said softly.

This was the only way he could appease her now.

Mochizuki Shiori took off the scarf, smiled slightly, happily got into the quilt, hugged Lin Yiqing's arm, and gently pressed his face against his chest.

"It's not hurt, is it?" Lin Yiqing's hand caressed her smooth back and asked with concern.

"Nope. We've all been withdrawing these days. Shiori Mochizuki replied, "However, when I infiltrated the Lucian barracks, I overheard the conversation between the Lucian officer and the thief officer. The Lucians said that it was possible to disadvantage the lord at sea. So I hurried back. I'm going to tell you the news. ”

"To my detriment at sea?" Lin Yiqing's brows furrowed, "What exactly did they say?" ”

"At the beginning, they talked about the death of General Saigo, and the officer of the thief army said that he had not found the body of General Saigo, and Officer Lucia laughed and said that he must have been eaten by a fish in the sea, and said that you will soon be buried in the belly of a fish like General Saigo, and the officer of the thief army asked for details, but Officer Lucia did not say much, but told him that the Lucia Navy would intercept us at sea. I think they must have a plan for your lord, and they rushed back. Shiori Mochizuki said.

"It is possible that what you said is that after the death of the generals, their main enemy will be me, and the thieves and Lucia will want me to die as soon as possible." Lin Yiqing nodded and said, "I really have to be careful." ”

"My lord, if you go to sea, you must be careful." Shiori Mochizuki said, "If you want to leave Nagasaki and go to the Ryukyus, it is best to take an ironclad ship, and if you encounter an interception by a thief army, you can deal with it." ”

"Got it, I'll be careful." Lin Yiqing patted her shoulder gently, and he heard the tiredness in her words, "Sleep......"

Shiori Mochizuki gently kissed the corner of his mouth, lay down beside him, and hugged him to sleep deeply, but Lin Yiqing no longer felt sleepy.

For him, a new and more difficult journey has just begun!

Qianguo, Nanjing, Liangjiang Governor's Office.

In the warm pavilion, an old man was lying on the bed, coughing incessantly.

This old man is Shen Youdan, a high-powered governor of Liangjiang in Qianguo.

"Master, do you feel better?" Mrs. Wu saw that Shen Youdan's eyebrows were very sick, and said with a heartache.

"Hmm." Shen Youdan nodded.

Mrs. Wu came to Shen Youdan, took his hand, and shook it, "Master's hand...... It's still a little cold! ”

"I think it's because I'm old, my blood is insufficient, and my operation is not as smooth as before." Shen Youdan smiled and said, "I've been drinking Ejiao these days." ”

"A few days ago, I asked people to enter the good Ejiao from Shandong, is there anything else?" Mrs. Wu said with concern, "If it's gone, I'll ask for more people." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's enough to eat for a while." Shen Youdan smiled and said to her.

Shen Youdan said, looked at his adopted daughter Li Sizhu, and said with a smile, "Come, Sizhu, help me up, I want to see newsprint." ”

Li Sizhu stepped forward and gently grabbed Shen Youdan's hand and helped him get up. Mrs. Wu noticed that Li Sizhu moved gently when she helped Shen Youdan, and the concern in her eyes naturally revealed, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

The daughter adopted by Lin Puqing, the wife of the deceased Shen Youdan, who was overflowing with love, is more intimate than Lin Puqing's own five daughters in many cases.

"In a moment, Sizhu has grown into a big girl." Shen Youdan looked at Li Sizhu, who was very delicate, and his eyes were full of appreciation.

Li Sizhu, who is nineteen years old this year, has a pair of beautiful almond eyes under the thick and shiny braided bangs, willow eyebrows, cherry small-mouthed melon seed face, a slender and well-proportioned figure that has just grown, and the skin is so smooth that it seems to be able to pinch out water.

"Master, this newsprint is good, but the words are a little small after all. Looks like a bother. So it's better to watch less. Take a break. Mrs. Wu persuaded, "The master's illness has not yet recovered, and when the illness is gone, the body and bones have recovered, and it is not too late to see more." ”

"I know, if I'm tired of watching, I'll ask Sizhu to read it to me, just listen to it." Shen Youdan nodded.

"That's good. Sizhu, you're so tired. Mrs. Wu said, took the newspaper of the day on the table, handed it to Li Sizhu, and then saluted Shen Youdan and said goodbye.

Mrs. Wu stepped back, and Li Sizhu stepped forward to help Shen Youdan lie down again, then sat on the edge of the bed, opened the newspaper, and delivered it to Shen Youdan.

Shen Youdan took the newspaper and searched for news about the civil strife in Japan. Li Sizhu seemed to know what he was looking for, and pointed at the newspaper. Shen Youdan immediately watched with full attention.

This newspaper is the well-known "Dian Shi Zhai Pictorial" in Qianguo, and the content published today is about the death of Saigo Takamori, and the pictorial depicts the scene of Saigo Takamori being seriously injured and committing suicide in the sea, on the picture, Saigo Takamori was covered in gunshot wounds and knife marks, and blood flowed all over the ground, and he was holding his wife's hand and walking towards the edge of the cliff, with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, and behind him was a group of soldiers who described the obscene Japanese army and the Russian army, and they were looking at this side in fear, and on the sea, a warship with the Satsuma military flag was firing guns on the shore. A Japanese general and entourage of soldiers were blown up.

There is text next to the picture, Shen Youdan's eyes are dizzy, and he can't see clearly, so Li Sizhu read it to him: "Saigo Takamori raised troops in Kagoshima, in the name of reducing the amount of hoeing and rape, and wanted to clear the king's side, his people are brave and chivalrous, and they have won the hearts of the Japanese people. He committed suicide with his wife in the sea, and all his troops died in battle, and none of them surrendered, which can be called tragic. ”

After reading the drawings and accompanying texts, Shen Youdan couldn't help but sigh again and again.

"Is there any news of Lin Yiqing? Read it to me. Shen Youdan asked.

"Back to my father's words, here is a piece that says that the Lin clan led the Samos to fight, covering the retreat of the army and civilians to Nagasaki, since the death of Saigo Takamori, he is like the head of the Samos people......"

"Sister Sizhu, how can you read these nonsense about the rebellious chieftains in Japan on these newspapers to my father?" A voice came from the doorway.

Li Sizhu heard that it was Shen Yuqing, Shen Youdan's fourth son, and his body trembled slightly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's a matter of national planning, so why can't you listen to it? Shen Youdan said angrily, "You say newsprint nonsense, but you write some articles on governing the country and the country!" ”

"The father is angry for the time being, and what the son has learned in the past few days is the way to govern the country and secure the country." Shen Yuqing came in, first greeted his father, then glanced at Li Sizhu, and said leisurely.

"Oh?" Shen Youdan looked at Shen Yuqing coldly, "Then read it to me?" ”

“…… Administration does not precede the employment of people, and the employment of people does not precede the distinction of gentlemen and villains. It is difficult for the husband and the gentleman to hide in the heart, but it is easy to see it in the deeds. Most gentlemen are clumsy, villains are clever; The gentleman is determined, and the villain is competitive; Gentlemen cherish talents, and villains crowd out aliens; The gentleman is ambitious, taking the country's vitality first, the villain is thinking about the present, and the task is to gather and be mean. Those who are upright and indomitable, and have nothing to say, are also gentlemen; Those who follow the two and work to avoid the villain. Those who admonish Kuang Bi, enter into the discussion of danger, and move the vigilance of the Lord, are also gentlemen; He likes to talk and is not afraid of changes, and he is a villain. Public and private evil, the opposite is true. ......" Shen Yuqing recited in a low voice, "Those who are kings must be able to understand which is virtuous or not." A person's mind is ears and eyes, there are many people who speculate, there are many people who are confused, a few are indistinguishable, the feelings and hypocrisies are mixed, love and hate are slightly partial, and the choice will be improper. Knowing people is philosopherical, how can there be other skills, only good learning and diligent pursuit, can make the holy will bright, and the holy virtue is solid. Cheng Hao Youyun, 'The ancients must have ministers who recite admonitions'. Please order the old Confucian, talk about morality, and choose the world's virtuous and virtuous people to accompany the law. When I was in the middle of Ningxu, Xiong Ci was sparse, and he also said that he would 'extend his visit to the true Confucianism'. This is the key to cultivating body and mind, and the source of employment and administration. The world is in chaos, the prime minister, and Junde is responsible for the feast. However, after the achievement of virtue, the auxiliary will win people, and then the world can be governed. ”

Hearing the net truth piled up in the fourth son's article, Shen Youdan's brows furrowed.

“…… The human heart is in danger, the Taoist heart is only slight, but the essence is the only one, and it is allowed to cling to it. Now the learning is unknown, the world is submerged in different learning, indulged in profit, no matter what. One or two good people. Resist the evil of the heart. Intoxicated with heterogeneous learning. Often writes with affection, and thinks about it, so as to spread it to infinity, and its behavior is inferior, and the snobbery is not as good as it! And the name has not been removed, its disadvantages and vulgar learning, etc., the so-called turbidity is different. Richimiya ......"

Shen Youdan heard his son carrying his back here, and anger appeared in his eyes again.

The words "heterogeneous" and "vulgar" in his son's mouth sounded so harsh at this time!

"Father, how is this article for my son?" Shen Yuqing finished reciting his proud work, looked at his father, and raised his eyebrows.

"You're satirizing your father's obsession with paganism, aren't you?" Shen Youdan heard the irony in this article written by Shen Yuqing, and his face was full of anger.

"The son did not dare, and the father taught the son. Be upright and uphold morality. Etiquette, not opportunism, drill into the camp. It was his son who dared to beg his father not to learn from Cousin Kunyu again and return to the right path......" Shen Yuqing noticed the change in his father's face, and his heart was crossed, and he spoke out boldly.

"What did you say?" Hearing Shen Yuqing mention Lin Yizhe, Shen Youdan's face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost.

"Cousin Kunyu stooped to the ghosts, fornicating with outsiders, and Shilin was boiling. He also curryed favor with the two palaces, instigated the emperor to build a large number of buildings, built gardens, made the people of the world difficult, and the Zhengshi of the court were tortured and humiliated. Fortunately, he died early and saved his family! Shen Yuqing said loudly, "It's my son's courage, and for this reason, I beg my father not to take foreign affairs seriously, and turn to the right path, and never become a sinner for the ages......

"You! ......" Shen Youdan was furious, pointed at Shen Yuqing's nose and was about to reprimand, but he was in a hurry, "wow", and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Daddy! ——" Li Sizhu was shocked, and reached out to support the crumbling Shen Youdan's body.

"You bastard! Kunyu is gone, you are still holding on to him, do you want to make your father angry to death? Shen Youdan's eldest son, Shen Weiqing, walked in at this time, and when he saw that his father was so angry that he vomited blood, Shen Weiqing's eyes widened angrily, and he stepped forward a few steps forward and slapped Shen Yuqing's face hard.

only heard a crisp sound, Shen Yuqing let out an "ouch", covered his face and knelt on the ground.

Li Sizhu and the maids who came forward when they heard the sound slowly flattened Shen Youdan's body, which had almost fainted, Li Sizhu cried and wiped the blood from the corner of Shen Youdan's mouth with a handkerchief, and gently stroked his chest with his hand.

"Quick! Go get a doctor! Shen Weiqing glared at his younger brother angrily, turned his head to a servant and commanded, and the servant immediately turned around and ran out of the house.

After a long while, Shen Youdan woke up.

"You bastard, don't you admit your mistake to your father soon!" Shen Weiqing pointed at Shen Yuqing and said sharply.

"What's wrong with my words! Every word is reasonable! Shen Yuqing raised his head suddenly, looked directly at his brother, and protested, "Cousin Kunyu does not take the right path of the imperial examination, and he does not seek to advance after getting a Xie Yuan, but he is consumed by the desire for profit, and he thinks about the rank of promotion. Father! Brother, why do you blindly protect Cousin Kunyu? Have you completely forgotten the teachings of the saints? ”

"Accumulation! After only a few days of reading, he dared to raise the words of a saint to suppress the old man! How can the old man get a lesson from you! Shen Youdan was furious, suddenly broke free of Li Sizhu's hand, jumped out of bed, took a step forward, rounded his arm, slapped him hard, and hit Shen Yuqing's already swollen face again.

This time, Shen Youdan used all his strength, Shen Yuqing's body fell heavily to the ground, the corners of his mouth splashed blood, and Shen Weiqing on the side saw this scene, and he was so frightened that he stayed there and couldn't make a sound.

He remembered that his father had never been so angry as he was today.

Shen Yuqing, who was crawling on the ground, felt dizzy, his eyes were full of Venus, and it took him a while before he woke up, he felt a salty smell in his mouth, as if there was a hard object, so he took a sip, and a tooth that had fallen out was impressive.

"Do you know that your cousin Kunyu has been slandered for the sake of the shipmaster, and his fame and future have been taken, but you blindly justify the clever words of the person who harmed your cousin, is this what the sage taught you?" The more Shen Youdan spoke, the more angry he became, "How can your cousin fail you, you are so disrespectful to your cousin!" Brothers, brothers Dare to talk about the words of a saint here! ”

"Father's anger may be appeased!" Shen Weiqing saw his father crumbling, and was shocked, so he stepped forward and hugged his father again.

Shen Yuqing lowered his head and said no more.

"The family is unfortunate, out of this rebellion! Come! Please come to the family law! Shen Youdan shouted.

"Father's anger! Brother Yu is young and ignorant! Just spare him this time! Shen Weiqing was shocked when he heard that his father was going to use family law against his younger brother, and knelt down and mourned.

At this time, Shen Yuqing was really angry when he saw his father, and he wanted to use family law on himself, and he was so frightened for a while that he couldn't even say anything to beg for mercy.

Shen Youdan saw Shen Yuqing huddled and trembling there with his head down, the corners of his mouth were full of blood, and there was a tooth that had been knocked out in a pool of blood on the ground, and he was a little unbearable in his heart, but as soon as he remembered what he had just said, the anger in his heart rose again.

"Rebel! "Gan's Family Motto? Governing the family", you recite it for me! Shen Youdan pointed at Shen Yuqing and shouted loudly. (To be continued......)

PS: At work today, the leader said to me: "The world is so big, you don't want to see it?" "Damn, is this a new word for firing squid? I immediately replied, "Boss, you are my whole world!" ”
