"I already know the sincerity of the heart, and everything is played according to the law. However, people must restrain their wildness, act in accordance with etiquette and law, and don't have the idea of 'the emperor is far away', causing great things, and I can't help it, even more so! In addition, the weakness of the Jiangnan Provincial Army, appalling, the only Japanese people are invincible, it is true that it is worrying, now that the Japanese rebellion has risen, I have ordered Cui Nan to coordinate the pacification of the chaos, and Yizhi can not stay out of the matter, it is advisable to summon people who can be driven to fight the enemy bravely, but the number of people must not exceed two hundred, otherwise it will hinder the customization, and it is reluctant. ”

After reading Qiu Yizhi, he was so shocked that he sat on his seat, and in the increasingly cool climate, he was already sweating profusely.

Lin Shuhan saw Qiu Yizhi's expression and knew that the content of this letter was not trivial, so he asked tentatively: "My lord, can the letter from the emperor give you a look at Lin?" ”

Qiu Yizhi pondered for a long time, and finally slowly raised his hand and handed the letter that scared him a lot into Lin Shuhan's hand.

Lin Shuhan took it with both hands, read it over and over again, and finally handed back the letter from Emperor Zheng Rong to Qiu Yizhi, and asked, "My lord, what do you mean by these words?" ”

"This ...... This one...... This ......" Qiu Yizhi, who has always been sharp-toothed, actually stammered, "this...... I...... I don't know, isn't it...... Alas...... The power of heaven is unpredictable, does the saint think that I have committed the great crime of deceiving the king, and he will punish me? ”

As he spoke, a bean-sized sweat trickled down the tip of Qiu Yizhi's nose and landed on the table, making a "poof" sound.

Lin Shuhan frowned and said: "The four words 'Tianwei is unpredictable' that the adults said are exactly the same. However, the emperor is also a human being, every move, word and deed, there are always signs of order to follow, otherwise wouldn't he become a moody tyrant? ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard Lin Shuhan say this, Fang Cai's nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and asked, "Mr. Lin's words are reasonable, has he already figured out the holy will?" ”

Lin Shuhan didn't speak, took the folding fan from the side, opened it and fanned it for Qiu Yizhi a few times, and said with a smile: "Speculating on the holy will is a big crime, if Lin guesses wrong, the emperor asks, the adult raises his hand and gently points at Lin and says: 'This person guessed randomly', then Lin will be wiped out." ”

Qiu Yizhi knew that Lin Shuhan's old problem of putting up a shelf and selling guanzi had come out again, and he hurriedly said: "The character of the people below, can't Mr. still believe it?" Please don't hang my appetite, sir, look at the sweat of my brain! ”

Lin Shuhan laughed when he heard the "haha", and then used the fan to fan Qiu Yizhi a few times, and said, "Then Lin will not be shy about it." In Lin's humble opinion, although the wording of the emperor's letter is harsh, behind this severity is not dissatisfaction with adults. ”

He paused and said, "If you don't believe it, please take a look." The emperor's letter is a total of two sentences. There is nothing to say in the first sentence, and the trust in adults is overflowing. Although the second sentence is heavy, it is mainly based on persuasion, asking adults to 'restrain wildness' and 'obey etiquette and follow the law', both of which are general. As for the sentence 'the emperor is far away', it is a market slang, and if it is said in the capacity of the emperor as supreme, it can also be seen that the relationship between the saint and the adult is unusual. ”

Lin Shuhan thought for a while and said: "Also, the emperor's sentence 'If you provoke a big thing, I can't stop it', although the tone is harsh, but on the other hand, doesn't it mean that as long as the cause does not break the sky, the emperor can always be thoughtful." The sky is high and the earth is thick, if you really want to pierce the sky, how easy is it to talk about it? In addition, the last few words of the emperor are particularly important, and in just a few dozen words, they actually granted Lord Qiu the right to be a soldier. It can be seen that in Jiangnan Province, even if the emperor can't trust adults, he can't trust other officials. Lin said something ugly, the emperor still needs adults to do things for him in Jiangnan Province now, so he will only knock and knock on adults, and he will not really treat adults well! ”

Qiu Yizhi quietly listened to Lin Shuhan say this, a hanging heart finally put it into his stomach, and he recalled his words for a long time, and then said: "Thanks to Mr. Lin as my think tank, otherwise just with the emperor's words, maybe I would be afraid of abnormality." ”

Lin Shuhan listened, but a basin of cold water was poured on his head: "Don't be happy too early, adults." The emperor can say such a thing, but in fact, he already has doubts about the adult in his heart. The so-called 'companion is like a tiger', when adults can achieve fame, they can stay away from the capital Luoyang, and come to Mingzhou, where the emperor is far away, to be a small county, which shows that adults think long-term, which Lin is very admired. ”

At the beginning, Qiu Yizhi made immortal contributions in Emperor Zheng Rong's "Battle of Rebellion", and the emperor originally promised to let him choose the military official position regardless of the size, but Qiu Yizhi boasted that he knew that Zheng Rong had too many confidential things and too many shady things for him.

Although his thoughts are true, he can't say it to anyone - Zheng Miao, the third son of the current emperor's knee who is closest to him, only thinks that he has no intention of fame; As for the prime minister Zhong Likuang, who taught him to grow up since he was a child, he only vaguely guessed that his student had the intention of returning to the mountains and forests.

In short, the words in Qiu Yizhi's heart, even in the face of Lin Shuhan, who was a confidant, he could only suffocate in his stomach, was silent for a long time, and finally said: "In short, from now on, I must always be more cautious, and please ......remind my husband from time to time."

He saw Uncle Lin nodding with a smile, and then said again: "Okay, the hour is not early, the old shipowner's condition is critical, let's hurry up and announce the decree!" As he spoke, he respectfully picked up the two documents and walked out the door.

When Uncle Lin saw it, he hurriedly followed.

Li Zhi's condition has been recurring in the past few days, sometimes good and sometimes bad, when he is good, he can go down to the ground and walk a few steps, and when he is bad, his feet hurt so much that he can only lie on the bed, and the medicine of the dead Gu Erniang is very effective, although it cannot be completely detoxified, after use, the toxicity will not spread.

When Qiu Yizhi pushed the door in, Li Zhi was still in good health, and was sitting on the bed talking to Lao Caitou, when he saw Qiu Yizhi coming, he said with a smile: "It turns out that Lord Qiu is here, come and come, please sit here." He gestured to a chair near the bed.

Qiu Yizhi stood still and said with a serious face: "Old ship owner, the emperor's holy decree has come down. Although the owner of the ship is unwell, the monarch and the minister are here, and the gift cannot be neglected, and the old owner is invited to greet him. ”

Li Zhi was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and he didn't know where the spirit came from, he climbed down from the bed, staggered to Qiu Yizhi, and said with a joyful expression on his face: "This is the blessing of my Li family!" The old man has lived so much to receive the emperor's will, and this life is worth it! As he spoke, tears of joy were left in his eyes.

If it is said that the emperor's words are all holy decrees, Qiu Yizhi has not known how many times he has received in the past 20 years, so he is not as excited as Li Zhi at all, and said lightly: "The old shipowner has not recovered from his serious injuries, please calm down." It's important to take care of it now. ”

Li Zhiyi slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, Lord Qiu is right." It is...... It's just that we are all grass people, and we don't know the rules, so how to greet the holy decree, and ask the adults to show us. ”

Qiu Yizhi originally didn't think much of these red tapes, but in order to recover the hearts of Li Zhi and Li Shengjie's father and son, this kind of ritual was indispensable, so he carefully searched his memories and said, "Is this...... Seeing that this room was too small, he asked the old shipowner to clean the deck and set up an incense case, and all the people on board had to kneel down quietly. Oh, and the flags on the masts must all be lowered as a sign of respect. ”

Li Zhi listened while nodding and said, "Thank you for your advice!" He turned his head to Lao Cai and ordered, "Lao Cai, you have heard it, don't go and handle it quickly!" ”

Of course, Lao Cai Tou knew that this matter was not trivial, so he agreed, and then ran out.

Qiu Yizhi waited for him to leave, then stretched out his hand to help Li Zhi back on the bed, and said, "Cleaning the deck and setting up the incense case, Lao Cai is afraid that he will have to toss some time." I have something here, which is also a reward from the emperor, but it is inconvenient to give it when the decree is announced, so I will give it to the old ship owner first. ”

As he spoke, Qiu Yizhi took the slightly thick document from Lin Shuhan's hand, held it in both hands and sent it to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi saw that Qiu Yizhi was so respectful, so he also took the paper bag so respectfully, and asked: "My lord, can I take it apart?" ”

Seeing Qiu Yizhi smiling and nodding, he pulled out the stack of papers from the gap that had been separated, and when he saw that it was a large stack of customs clearance documents, his eyes could no longer leave these thin, slightly yellowish papers, covered with fly-headed small letters, and covered with the large seal of the second department of the Ministry of Rites.

Qiu Yizhi saw that Li Zhi's eyes were almost falling, so he said with a smile: "These customs clearance documents were sent by the emperor together with the holy decree, a total of one hundred. The emperor's original intention was to give me to restrain the maritime merchants who traveled between Mingzhou and the Wa Kingdom. I thought that the old shipowner and the young shipowner had saved my life, and there was a lot of disturbance in the past few days, so I gave them all to the old shipowner. ”

Of course, Qiu Yizhi's words are not true-but these customs clearance documents, Zhong Li Kuang's drafted holy decree and Zheng Rong's own letters, are not mentioned, so it is completely reasonable for Qiu Yizhi to punish himself - in this way, his words are not all nonsense.

This made Li Zhi extremely moved, and a line of turbid tears flowed from his eyes: "Lord Qiu, where are you talking about this?" Where is this? Since the emperor has a will, the old man can't swallow it alone......"

As he spoke, Li Zhi trembled and divided half of the customs clearance documents in his hand, and slowly presented them to Qiu Yizhi in his hand: "These customs clearance documents are silver in the eyes of our maritime merchants, and if you hold them, they should still be useful!" ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that although Li Zhi said this, there was a reluctant look on his face, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to push back the documents in Li Zhi's hand, and said: "The eldest husband will do what he says, and he said it below, these documents are to be given to the old ship owner, and the old ship owner refuses to accept them, is it not given below?" ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his hands suddenly froze in the air, which was a dilemma.

At this moment, Li Shengjie pushed the door in, and when he saw Li Zhi and Qiu Yi's strange movements, he asked aloud: "Dad, what are you doing with Master Tongqiu?" ”

When he walked in to take a closer look, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and only after a while did he say: "Why are there so many customs clearance documents?" It looks like it's worth millions of taels of silver! Where did Dad get it from? ”

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "This is a gift from Lord Qiu to our Li family, why don't Jie'er give a big gift to Lord Qiu for Dad?" ”

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly helped Li Shengjie and said, "This is exempt." The young owner came from outside, I don't know how Lao Caitou is arranged, if everything is ready, I will go to the deck to announce the decree. When the time comes, the three prostrations and nine prostrations are ambiguous. ”
