Tang Zihe's expression flashed with a brief moment of apprehension.

How many years have you not heard the word "home"?

Born with an unknown surname, adopted by the White Lotus Sect, followed the elders of the sect to practice medicine in Tianjin, once she thought that the White Lotus Sect was her home, and then she found out that she was wrong, the White Lotus Sect did not regard her as a family, but an opponent who was getting bigger and bigger, only deep precautions and jealousy, and no trace of warmth.

Over the years, she has traveled south and north, killed officials, rebelled, and when her momentum was at its peak, tens of thousands of heroes were willing for her to drive, and she was allowed to gallop across the three provinces, but she still lacked a home.

"Home...... Would you like to give me a home? Tang Zihe muttered, tears falling like pearls.

"Ordinary poor people can have a shack, why can't you have a home?" Qin Kan smiled, and there seemed to be a faint scent of grass in his smile, which made people feel calm.

Tang Zihe lowered his head, quietly wiped away his tears, was silent for a long time, suddenly sneered, and when he looked up again, there were no tears in the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were a little cunning.

"But I have heard that a man's house is called a house...... Does Grandpa Qin want to stuff another man into the little woman's room? ”

Qin Kan hurriedly surrendered his hand: "I will never shirk in the future, and Mao will recommend himself......"

Tang Zihe laughed loudly, and the laughter like silver bells poured on the moat, and the sparkling waves on the river seemed to be dancing briskly.

"Do you plan to stay in Jingshi or continue to drift?"

Tang Zihe said with a smile: "I should leave Jingshi, I am too unfamiliar with this place, if you weren't in a desperate situation, I really wouldn't have come here." Now that your predicament has been solved and your political enemies have been eliminated, I am naturally leaving. ”

Qin Kan said in a low voice: "You...... Can't you stay? ”

Tang Zihe looked at him deeply and said, "Qin Kan, do you know what kind of person I am, I am destined to be just rootless duckweed in this life, and a comfortable life is not suitable for me." ”

Qin Kan sighed gloomily and was silent.

After all, she is not a person who can settle down, she has had glory, and she also has an unbreakable knot, how can she calmly guard a house and spend the rest of her life quietly with a man?

Seeing Qin Kan's lost appearance. Tang Zihe was moved in his heart. Zhan Yanqiang smiled: "If one day, you fall into the decision again, or ......"

"Or what?"

Tang Zihe looked at him and said slowly: "Or one day." The Emperor no longer trusts you. I want to put you to death. I will come back again, the country is beautiful, and the virtuous live in it. It doesn't have to be surnamed Zhu, but it can also be surnamed ......"

"Stop!" Qin Kan interrupted her words, a layer of cold sweat unconsciously broke out on her forehead, and she was stunned for a long time before she returned to normal, pointed at her and smiled bitterly: "You are really a demon girl, it is not enough to rebel yourself, and you want to pull me into the water, I haven't heard this today, don't mention it in the future." ”

Tang Zihe smiled freely: "The bigger Grandpa Qin's official becomes, the less daring he is?" ”

Standing up and patting the dust behind him, Tang Zihe turned to look at Qin Kan, and said deeply: "I will leave Beijing tomorrow, I want to go back to Tianjin to see, parting is imminent, you ...... Is there anything to say to me? ”

"Yes."

"You say."

Qin Kan looked at the turbid and churning moat, looking out from afar by the railing, his gaze was long and far-reaching.

"Thank you for helping me make Madame's belly bigger......"

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

"Grandpa, Tianjin Donggang has launched four more 2,000-material giant ships this month." Yan Song sat upright in front of Qin Kan, with an uncontrollable look of joy on his face.

Qin Kan crossed his legs and looked leisurely: "At present, there are ten warships with more than 2,000 materials in my Tianjin Naval Division, and all the ships launched in the back are merchant ships carrying goods, and more than a dozen large merchant ships are equipped with ten escort warships, this fleet is enough to dominate the world." ”

"Yes......" Yan Song arched his hand, but his face showed embarrassment: "But grandpa, Tianjin Donggang...... There's no money left. ”

Qin Kan said: "No silver?" ”

"The timber money in Liaodong, the manpower money in transit, the wages of 2,000 shipbuilders in Tianjin Donggang, and the two meals a day for nearly 10,000 recruits, etc.......," Yan Song looked up at Qin Kan after speaking: "In short, Tianjin has no money." ”

Qin Kan pondered for a long time, and said: "This is not difficult, after Liu Jin was ambushed, he searched out tens of millions of greedy ink and dirty silver from his treasury, and this silver made the treasury a big deal, but at that time I kept an eye on it, and secretly ordered Jinyi Wei to carry the officials of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate on his back, and intercepted four million taels from the confiscated family property, and secretly filled it into the inner treasury for future emergency purposes. But you can go to Tianjin to take care of everything with peace of mind, and I will handle the silver business. ”

Yan Song suddenly looked at Qin Kan with reverence on his face: "Grandpa takes precautions, the temple is exhaustive, and the lower officials admire the five places." ”

Qin Kanhun shook his head indifferently: "It's not as exaggerated as you said, even if I don't leave this back road, Tianjin can't lack silver, there are too many dirty officials in the court, just find someone to copy his family money, it is definitely worth half a year of the treasury." ”

…………

The matter of silver was solved, and Yan Song brought up the second thing.

"The two Japanese envoys, Ouchi and Hosokawa, asked to see their grandfather several times but couldn't, so they threw the worship post to the lower official door and asked the lower official to help introduce them, if the grandfather didn't want to see them, the lower official rejected them."

Qin Kan smiled and said, "These two Japanese are quite good at camping, I guess they also told you the purpose of meeting me, right?" ”

"Yes, they want to beg the grandfather to take back his order and not to send troops to Japan......"

Qin Kan snorted lightly and said: "It was not my Ming initiative to send troops to Japan, but the Japanese royal family officially submitted the credentials to my Ming court, what's the use of asking me for this matter?" ”

Yan Song looked at Qin Kan and said suspiciously: "Grandpa sent troops to Japan to settle in the palace, and the lower officials are puzzled, what is Grandpa's intention in this move?" ”

Qin Kan said slowly: "Japan, it seems to be humble. In fact, the country of jackals is also my plan to send troops to Japan, and within 20 or even 50 years, I will let Japan only care about internal strife and have no respite. ”

Yan Song became more and more puzzled: "Only sending only 500 soldiers, can this goal be achieved?" ”

Qin Kan smiled: "Only five hundred were sent in the first year, and another hundred were sent in the second year, increasing year by year, but it is actually not conspicuous, the Japanese emperor has suffered for so many years." Finally, he had a few soldiers who listened to him. His Majesty the Emperor, of course, the more the merrier. Maybe the next year will take the initiative to ask us to increase our troops......"

"But with so many soldiers just guarding the Imperial Palace, what ...... does it have on the overall situation of Japan?"

Yan Song suddenly paused before he finished speaking, and exclaimed: "In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Shu and Wu Sanxiong are competing for hegemony!" Grandpa wants to use our Ming military power to balance the Japanese war situation? ”

Qin Kanha smiled: "Not bad. The Three Kingdoms have been fighting for hegemony for nearly 100 years. The Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu fought for several generations to dominate the world. But the one who won the world the most was the Sima clan, but don't you think that the current situation in Japan also has a bit of the meaning of the Three Kingdoms? ”

Yan Song said suddenly: "The Hosokawa clan and the Ouchi clan of Japan have the greatest potential. Although the status of the imperial family is respected, but the strength is almost nothing, it is no wonder that the grandfather did not mince words about the other two daimyo envoys, but he was quite kind to the prince of the imperial family, not only the allocation of firearms, but also the strong choice of sending troops to guard, originally to support the imperial family, check and balance Ouchi and Hosokawa, the three of them were afraid of each other, fought each other, and virtually weakened Japan's national strength......"

"Yes, the word 'balance' is the most critical, Japan's three forces, no one can sit big and really be unified by him, no one can be too weak and swallowed up by other forces, this needs to be balanced, sending troops into Japan is also the meaning, to win over the pressure, show grace, obey it, and secretly stir up right and wrong...... In a few years, the unwarranted extra firearms of our Ming battalion will become an important force to contain the power of the Japanese National Congress, and under the fear and balance of the three parties, the weight of the Japanese Ming garrison will become heavier and heavier, no matter which of Japan's heroes wants to unify Japan, I am afraid it will not be an easy task. ”

Listening to Qin Kan's eloquent talk about the layout of Jingluo Japan, the more Yan Song listened, the more awe-inspiring his expression became, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead for no reason, but his expression became more and more awe-inexplicable.

"The grandfather is clever enough to settle the world, and the officials admire him to the ...... However, my grandfather, it seems that the ministers of the DPRK and China do not approve of sending troops to Japan at the moment, and it is said that the cabinet scholar Liang Chu is ready to politely refuse the Japanese credentials, and instead give gold and silver ...... without being involved in the affairs of the vassal state."

Qin Kan smiled faintly: "It's okay, I have instructed Jinyiwei to make arrangements, and by tomorrow at the latest, His Majesty will announce that I will enter the leopard room to discuss Japan's affairs, and it will be clear at that time." ”

…………

…………

On the second day, Qin Kan was indeed announced into the leopard room.

In the huge and empty main hall, the two scholars of the cabinet, as well as Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Tu Tu, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, were already sitting in the hall.

Zhu Houzhao sat more dignified today, he sat cross-legged on the bright yellow cushion, his upper body was straight, his hands were placed on his lower abdomen, his right hand was placed on his left hand, and the two thumbs and fingers were connected.

It turned out that Zhu Houzhao suddenly had a strong interest in Buddhism recently, often held various rituals in the leopard room, and also ordered the senior monks of the monk record division to enter the leopard room one after another, preaching Buddhism for him, preaching and reciting, the leopard room was filled with all kinds of Buddhist music and Sanskrit singing day and night, and the emperor's palace became similar to the Leiyin Temple in the West Heaven.

Not only that, Zhu Houzhao didn't know which old monk who lacked the eyes when he dreamed, and he actually called himself "Daqing Dharma King Xijue Dao Yuanming Freedom Dading Abundant Buddha", he closed the door and entertained himself, but this young son of heaven played too much, and actually wrote this self-taken Buddha name on the inscription of the song, so the person who reviewed the national affairs was changed from the emperor to a monk, and the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, thinking that there was a demon in the palace to bewitch the emperor, and it was not too big or small to make a storm.

Now that everyone sees Zhu Houzhao like this, all the old ministers are so angry that one Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and Tu Tu, who had the hottest temper, took the lead, pointing to Zhu Houzhao, who was solemn in his treasure appearance, was reprimanded.

Zhu Houzhao is really like a monk who has attained the Tao, he is not anxious or annoyed when he sees this, he continues to sit very calmly, and the "Zen Dharma Seal" in his hand has quietly changed his tricks at some point, and his right hand is covered by his right knee, and his fingers are pointing to the ground, but it is an authentic Buddhist "magic seal".

Yang Tinghe, who had a little knowledge of Buddhism, was naturally no stranger to this mudra, so Yang Tinghe broke out.

Qin Kan, the Duke of Ningguo, stepped into the main hall of the leopard house at the moment when he was full of words. (To be continued......)
