Zhu Houzhao was concentrating on reviewing the recitals, Liu Jin was respectfully pointing and suggesting beside him, and Zhang Yong was not willing to be lonely, as if he was intent on competing with Liu Jin, holding a jade plate full of all kinds of snacks and snacks, and he stepped forward diligently, letting Zhu Houzhao casually take it and stuff it into his mouth.

What the two have in common is that they give Zhu Houzhao an extremely flattering smile from time to time, which is unsightly.

Qin Kan saw such a scene when he walked into the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, his footsteps paused, and then he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Personal taste determines literacy, conscience can't deceive oneself, whether it's a grievance or a grievance, it's really a very cheap thing to mix with such two goods......

Seeing Qin Kan come in, Zhu Houzhao put the precious Sable Lake pen in his hand on the pen stand, and smiled happily: "Qin Kan, come over and see, I have been very easy to deal with the government these days, and those civil officials with broken mouths are all honest, and it is all thanks to your bad ideas that I have been so happy recently, and I can finally have a peaceful and happy New Year." ”

When Liu Jin saw Qin Kan enter the hall, his flattering expression suddenly became a little stiff, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes. Obviously, since the last time they partnered with the civil officials, Qin Kan and Liu Jin's honeymoon period is almost over......

Qin Kan took two steps forward and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, can you keep a low profile?" After we partnered last time, didn't we say that we would rot this matter in our stomach? If the ministers know the inside story, there will be nothing wrong with Your Majesty, but the ministers will definitely die. ”

Zhu Houzhao laughed happily: "You and Liu Jin were both scolded as traitors by the Manchu Dynasty, but your badness is not the same as Liu Jin." Liu Jin has a straightforward temper, but you are really bad to the bones, and you will be cheated by you if you are not careful...... I can't help but laugh when I think of the bad idea you had last time, this mouth can't control the secret, what do you say? ”

Qin Kan said with a smile: "Actually, it's easy to do, I heard that there is a custom in Europe in the extreme west, where if the princes, nobles and common people have an ulterior secret, they usually go to the mountains to find a tree and dig a hole under the tree." Then go to the hole and tell the whole secret. Then seal the hole with mud and bury it, and the secret will be buried in the hole forever, and no one will ever know about it......"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Although it is purely a lie." But it sounds interesting. In the future, I will bury the secret of our cooperation in rectifying the civil officials into the hole......"

It was as if they were seriously discussing state affairs. Qin Kan suddenly pointed at Liu Jin very officially, and said in an extremely serious tone: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Liu also knows the secret of Lu Dao. Do you want to ...... him by the way?"

Liu Jin, who was caught off guard, was stunned for a moment, and then he was so frightened that he hissed like a madman: "Qin Kan, you have scared the miscellaneous family again and again, do you think it's interesting?" ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't cry or laugh: "Qin Kan, don't keep scaring Liu Jin, people are so old that they can't stand your teasing over and over again......"

Liu Jin's eyes were red, and he nodded again and again: "The old slave is timid, and he really can't stand the ...... of fright."

Qin Kan looked up to the sky and sighed in great disappointment.

Liu Jin...... The number of gases is not exhausted!

****************************************************************

casually pointed to the jade plate held in Zhang Yong's hand, and asked Qin Kan not to treat himself as an outsider, and to take snacks by himself, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows at Qin Kan: "Is there something wrong with entering the palace to find me?" ”

Qin Kan arched his hand and said, "Yes." ”

"Say it. For the New Year, it's best to say something happy, slow down the unhappy things, and leave it until the end of the Shangyuan Festival, the courtiers are all resting for half a month, and you also let me breathe a sigh of relief......"

Qin Kan smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I'm really sorry, what the minister wants to say is really not good news......

Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment, then sighed deeply sadly, and even the snacks in his mouth became tasteless.

Liu Jin seemed to deliberately want to avenge the revenge just now, and sneered hatefully beside Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Qin is really lucky, the old slave didn't hear him say anything good to His Majesty, and he came to provoke His Majesty for the New Year......

Qin Kan replied without being soft or hard: "Father-in-law Liu, why do you want to make me unhappy during the New Year?" What I report to His Majesty is all about the state affairs of the ancestors, and His Majesty is the co-lord of the country, is it still divided into two kinds of happiness and unhappiness when listening to state affairs? ”

Liu Jin froze for a moment, then glanced at him resentfully, and didn't squeak again.

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said: "Come on, you guys are already unhappy, Qin Kan, what the hell, you can play." ”

Qin Kan said quietly: "Your Majesty, the White Lotus Cult is making trouble in Tianjin, and it has become more and more intense, and today, there are two big stall heads in Dongchang, as well as a thousand households in Jinyiwei, and a Zhenfu was stabbed in Tianjin, which can be described as rampant and arrogant. ”

As soon as he heard the words "White Lotus Sect", Zhu Houzhao's casual expression suddenly became ugly, and his face became gloomy.

Slacking off and playing does not mean that he really cares about state affairs, what kind of organization is the White Lotus Sect, Zhu Houzhao knows very well, after all, it is a country handed down by his ancestors, and Emperor Hongzhi must have warned him many things when he was alive, the White Lotus Sect is definitely one of the organizations that the Ming Emperors strictly prevented and suppressed, no matter how mediocre Zhu Houzhao is, he also knows that the White Lotus Sect must not be taken lightly.

On the basis of the prestige of the people, on the history of rebellion that almost succeeded in inheriting orthodoxy, and on the cases of rebellions of different sizes and scales in various places since the founding of the Ming Dynasty more than 100 years ago, the White Lotus Sect has long been a sting in the hearts of emperors, and they can't pull it out.

"The White Lotus Sect is already in Tianjin Weicheng Climate?" Zhu Houzhao said with a gloomy expression.

Qin Kan smiled and said: "Your Majesty's monarchy is granted by heaven, and the nobles are orthodox, no matter whether you succeed or not, you are all small in front of Your Majesty, why are you afraid?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's face softened slightly, and said: "The thieves are so bold that they dare to openly stab the guards of my imperial court, I will never tolerate it!" Qin Kan, what do you mean? ”

Qin Kan arched his hand and said solemnly: "I only ask Your Majesty to make a holy decree, and the minister is willing to go to Tianjin Wei for His Majesty, and personally lead the factory guard to exterminate the White Lotus Cult." ”

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin were stunned at the same time when they heard this, and when their expressions changed, Liu Jin's white old face quickly flashed a trace of gloomy color.

"You're going to Tianjin Wei? Are you going to venture into danger again? No, no, no! I'm not sure! Zhu Houzhao shook his head resolutely: "Last time, you went to Liaodong and almost died, I went to your house to see your wife crying so much, I felt guilty and wanted to bury you, this time I said that I won't let you go!" Qin Kan, you let me save my worries. (To be continued.) )
