"Well, Tian Aiqing, you are my old minister for decades, and I also know that you are loyal to me, today I want to ask you a question, you must tell me the truth, don't say that against your will." Zhao Youxiao slowly turned around and said word by word.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was so cautious, Tian Yi was also quite surprised, and hurriedly said: "The minister knows everything, and he has no end to it." ”

"Well, that's good. What do you think of this Qin Dusk? Zhao Youxiao's face was calm, but a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on Tian Yi's face.

came, as expected, Tian Yi said secretly in his heart, after a little thought, he replied: "Lord Qin Du is young and talented, has outstanding achievements, repeatedly defeated the empire's great enemy Luo Bei, and then quelled the rebellion and ambushed the bandits, and governed the northwest with a sound and impressive reputation, which is really a rare talent in the empire for many years. ”

"What else?" Zhao Youxiao's face was expressionless.

"Well, it's just that this Lord Qin is a young man, and he is inevitably arrogant, and he is a little out of step with the old ministers of the imperial court, and he has many deviant behaviors, and he also violates the laws and regulations of the empire." Tian Yi stubbornly continued.

"Is that all?" Zhao Youxiao's face was a little ugly.

"Wechen really sees it that way." Tian Yi saw sweat on his forehead, and secretly regretted reporting in his heart.

"Humph! Is there no one in this court who can share my worries? Zhao Youxiao's face turned blue and became extremely stern, and he looked very unhappy anyway.

"Majesty!"

When Tian Yi heard this, he knew that His Majesty the Emperor was already very dissatisfied, and if he couldn't come up with any real opinions, I was afraid it would be really difficult to make a difference, so he hurriedly said: "The minister also heard that Qin Dui had ambitious words, and his actions were indeed out of line, but this Qin Dui made great contributions under his eyes, and he was very popular in the imperial government and the opposition, and there was no objection to his behavior, and the empire recruited him to Beijing this time." It comes as soon as it is called, it is very different from the two families of Lin Lang in the south, and it is really difficult to determine. ”

Listening to Tian Yi's anxious words, Zhao Youxiao's face looked a little better, "Then in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"In the opinion of the minister. This Qin Duan did not do anything else at this time, and his defense of the northwest was indeed very meritorious. If you are not at ease, the minister has two strategies. Tian Yi wiped the sweat stains on his forehead and said.

"Oh? Which two strategies. ”

"Qin Du has not yet been married, if His Majesty decrees to marry the eldest princess or the seventeenth princess, so that she can become a concubine, she will be able to collect her heart and make her loyal, this is the best policy." Tian Yi said the first strategy.

"Hmm. What about the second policy? Zhao Youxiao nodded.

"Second, Qin Du has been on the border for many years, and he has worked hard and made great achievements, and now he is stable in the northwest, so he can temporarily stay in the capital to recuperate, in order to show the emperor's grace. The minister heard that this person is quite a good woman~ sex, and he can give more beauty to make him addicted. If it can be confined to Beijing for a long time, its influence in the northwest and northern Loulan will gradually weaken. When it comes, it can be replaced by others. If it can be combined with the best policy, it will be able to achieve miraculous results, which can be described as the best policy. Tian Yi said the second strategy.

Zhao Youxiao nodded slowly, this second strategy is similar to Ye Xianggao's method, if it is combined with the first strategy, it can indeed work. Thinking of this, Zhao Youxiao frowned again and said: "It's just that Zirou has a stubborn temper and hates that Qin Dui, and it may be difficult to match, and the seventeenth princess is still young." We'll have to wait another two years. ”

"It doesn't matter, you can also choose the royal lady to match her first, and then allow her to be allowed when the seventeenth princess is an adult." Tian Yi said again.

"Well, that's a good idea." Zhao Youxiao's face showed a look of satisfaction.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor smiled, Tian Yi's hanging heart breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then what is the matter of Beiloulan......?" Zhao Youxiao solved the problem in his heart and was in a much better mood.

"Beilou Lan is the territory of the empire, located on the border, so the problem of Qin Dui can be solved, and the minister thinks that he should be assisted." Tian Yi said.

"Well, just do it according to Aiqing's opinion, but ...... that amount?" Zhao Youxiao was a little uncertain.

"The minister thought that the empire could provide a one-time aid of eighteen million silver, and the rest of the problems would be solved by the local people." Tian Yi took out his own belly case.

"Well, then do it according to Aiqing's opinion. It's just today's discussion, I don't want a second person to know, can you understand? A smile appeared on Zhao Youxiao's face, but there seemed to be something hidden in that smile.

"Wechen understands." couldn't help but shudder, and Tian Yi's thin body shrank.

"Well, then you can go." Zhao Youxiao's face slowly regained his calmness.

Stepping out of the palace, Tian Yi only felt that the sweaty underwear was a little cold on his back, and his body was indescribably uncomfortable, he took a long breath, and then bent down and got into the carriage, he was worthy of Qin Duan, he proposed to fight for the development of Beiloulan, and he finally did it for him, and it was also a reward for the pair of different lovebirds he gave him.

As for whether he can escape this catastrophe and whether he can return to the northwest, it has nothing to do with him, even if he wants to help, he can't do anything, it depends on his own creation, gently leaning on the soft leather cushion on the back of the car, Tian Yi fell into deep thought.

Qin Dui, who was still in a state of excitement, seemed to have no idea about his situation, and he was still intoxicated by the good mood brought by the beautiful young girls around him all morning, but he was also surprised by the frequent visits of important ministers.

Since I got up and had breakfast, the ministers of the DPRK and China have been visiting one after another. The first to come was Zeng Guohong, the Minister of Commerce of the Empire, who was a veteran minister of the court who Qin Duan was more familiar with, and his relationship with Qin Duan was also quite friendly.

In view of the fact that Qin Duan had concurrently served as the governor of the Northern Loulan region, he had taken over the military and political power of the two vast administrative regions of the Northwest County of the Empire and the Northern Loulan region, and these two regions were not economically developed at present, but they were quite rich in products, so it was necessary to promote economic exchanges between these two regions and the interior of the empire and with other neighboring countries and regions, and this commercial exchange was also an extremely important part.

For this reason, Zeng Guohong paid a special visit to Qin Duan, which made Qin Du quite moved, and the two had a serious conversation on the taxation of economic and commercial exchanges between the interior of the empire and the northwest and northern Loulan regions, and initially discussed the feasibility of some cooperation.

Since the Northwest is under the jurisdiction of the military and political envoys, its tax policies and tax systems, including tariff rates, are determined by the Northwest counties, and the commercial exchanges with the interior of the empire are different from the commercial exchanges between the counties in the interior of the empire, and some are similar to the relationship between the empire and the surrounding countries, such as the relationship with Gerlok and Milan, so the military and political envoys of the Northwest counties have considerable self-determination rights, which is also one of the biggest differences between the military and political envoys and the county capitals.

In view of its special geographical location and Qin Duan's status, this area may have the final say by Qin Dui, Zeng Guohong saw this very clearly. (To be continued......)
