When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he suddenly remembered that between the Turks and the Han Dynasty, there was also the Bohai Sea, a subject of the Han Dynasty, as a buffer, and since the Turkic forces had reached the border of the Han Dynasty as Shi Wei said, the situation of the Bohai State must be very difficult.

In fact, the survival of this Bohai Kingdom is not very important in Qiu Yizhi's heart, but the Bohai County Lord Yiran, who grew up with him since childhood, is also recuperating in Bohai Country today, and her safety is what Qiu Yizhi is worried about.

However, he didn't want to ask in public, but asked: "Isn't there still a former general, Dai Luanxiang and Marshal Dai?" Wouldn't it be better to ask Marshal Dai to go north to defend against the enemy, and keep my second brother by the emperor's side? ”

Shi Wei replied: "Marshal Dai is a famous general at home after all, and he debuted with the emperor, how can he be sent to the north to Tuntian?" Besides, the military department also has a lot of things to deal with, and it also needs Marshal Dai to command in the center, right? ”

Again, this is an extremely important piece of information.

Qiu Yizhi has tasted three of them from these three words - Dai Luanxiang is afraid that he has lost the trust of Emperor Zheng Rong, so he has to do some errands in the military department, and he has no chance to take charge of the army alone.

Qiu Yizhi couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought that Dai Luanxiang, a famous general at home, could not help but feel a little sad, and listened to Shi Wei continue: "Your Highness Yi don't worry, the emperor still has three highnesses by his side to help with state affairs." It's just that in the six ministries now, the Third Highness is in charge of the four ministries, and he is so busy that he can't see anyone every day! ”

Again, this is an extremely important piece of information.

The emperor now sent the eldest prince and the second prince far away to the frontier to do business, leaving only a third son by his side, but also let him take full charge of the central affairs, obviously preparing for the transfer of the throne to the third prince Zheng Miao!

Qiu Yizhi remembered that Emperor Zheng Rong had revealed in front of him more than once that he wanted to make his third son Zheng Miao the prince or the crown prince, and the two corresponded to each other, and it seemed that this matter had almost been done.

In fact, Zheng Rong's three sons have their own advantages and strengths, and if they are assisted by famous ministers like Zhong Likuang, they can all be good emperors. However, among the three people, it is indeed the third son Zheng Miao who has the best virtue, and his mind is far better than that of the two brothers, and it is indeed the best choice for him to inherit the throne.

For Qiu Yizhi, among his three brothers, Zheng Miao is the same age as him, and he gets along well on weekdays, and he is naturally the happiest to be the emperor.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yi's mood suddenly improved, but he also thought that the emperor was less than fifty years old this year, and it was the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, but he was already thinking about things behind him, and I was afraid that he also had no confidence in his health......

After all, Emperor Zheng Rong and Qiu Yizhi have had a ten-year father-son relationship, and when they thought of this, Qiu Yizhi was sad again, and he was speechless for a long time.

Lin Shuhan's lobby was silent again, and the air that was almost frozen made everyone's chests dull and very depressing.

However, among the people present, it was the highest official rank that made Liu Qingcheng's mansion the shallower, and the first one couldn't hold his breath, cleared his throat and said: "His Royal Highness Fang Caiyi said that he wants to ask the last general to invite a guest to pick up the wind for General Shi. In this case, the last general can't neglect the two. If you want to say that in Jinling City, it is the best building outside the garden. But it's not early now, and if you go late, I'm afraid there won't be a private room. Why don't we go now? ”

Qiu Yizhi was also about to interrupt the solemn atmosphere now, so he said with three points of mockery: "You are a dignified Jiangnan Provincial Jie Du envoy, and you have an army of 100,000 under your hands, why can't you even take a small restaurant?" ”

Liu Qing scratched the hair on his head and said, "My lord, this is just joking with me." Other people's guests are also here to spend money to eat, and everyone is seated, why do you drive people away? Doesn't this ruin the reputation of the official family? We don't have this rule in the old Youyan Dao army. ”

Qiu Yizhi sneered: "Hmph! I'm afraid that you have also received money from the owner of other people's restaurants, and you are embarrassed to use other people's money, right? ”

"No, no, no!" Liu Qing flatly denied it, "His family has never been in the habit of giving money to officials." People have high means, the dishes are well cooked, and many dignitaries and family members eat in their restaurants. The boss is also very wide-ranging, I really offended him, maybe the person who came to say the item will step on the threshold of your house first! ”

"Good!" Qiu Yizhi was aroused by Liu Qing's words, "Okay, then let's go, I want to see what is good about this 'garden building'!" ”

Saying that, he arched his hands with Lin Shuhan and Zhao Chengxiao: "Today is General Liu's treat, I don't want to go." If this restaurant really lives up to its reputation, then I will be the host another day, and invite a few people to have a good meal. ”

With that, Qiu Yizhi got up and was about to walk out the door.

But I heard Shi Wei say: "Your Highness Yi, the secret decree sent by the emperor to me, you haven't read it yet!" Didn't you forget? ”

Qiu Yizhi was stunned when he heard this: of course he hadn't forgotten this secret decree, but he didn't want to open it now, but wanted to read it with Lin Shuhan. However, in the final analysis, the emperor's secret decree is for one person to read alone, and even if others look at it closely, it is a crime of bullying the king.

So Qiu Yizhi listened to Shi Wei's reminder, smiled reluctantly, and said: "General Shi's reminder is that I am on the rise, how can I forget this matter!" Please wait a while, after I go back to the room to pay respects, how about coming out and going to the outer building of the park together? ”

As he spoke, Qiu Yizhi glanced at Uncle Lin secretly, then turned around and left the middle hall and walked briskly to the room where he was staying.

Lin Shuhan is a smart person, he guessed the meaning of Qiu Yizhi's eyes, and after finding a reason, he also retreated, and went straight to Qiu Yizhi's house in the manor.

After passing through the house for a long time, Lin Shuhan casually pushed open the door of Qiu Yizhi's room, and sure enough, he saw that he was pinching a piece of yellow paper to read—this yellow paper was the secret letter sent to him by Emperor Zheng Rong.

Qiu Yizhi saw Lin Shuhan coming in, looked up and said, "Mr. Lin is here, you can also read this letter from the emperor." Or take a closer look at it for me. As he spoke, he handed the letter to Lin Shuhan.

Lin Shuhan put away the folding fan that never left him in all seasons, took the letter with both hands, and read it. I saw that hundreds of words were densely written on this letterhead, and there were still many places that had been changed between the lines that had not yet been transcribed, presumably the emperor wrote the seal and sent it over, and even whether it had been carefully reviewed was between yes and no.

Lin Shuhan is a great expert in calligraphy, he has seen the imperial pen himself before, and he saw that although the emperor's pen is sharp, the skeleton is already a little loose, and it is obviously written when the pen is not in power, and it is lower than the emperor's handwriting that he has seen before.

"Maybe the emperor's dragon body is not unfounded?" Uncle Lin secretly speculated, but he didn't dare to say it, he only sighed and said, "Alas! It seems that the Holy One is indeed a Eucharist. Every stroke is full of exhaustion. When an adult replies to a letter, he must bow down and ask St. Ann. ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded, but was noncommittal.

Lin Shuhan had no choice but to start from the beginning and read it word by word. However, I saw that the credit of this book was not in literary language, but in ordinary vernacular writing. The above first praised the newly recruited Xiang Yong of Qiu Yi for his victory in the first battle: "It is very rare for Yizhi Jinling City to win the next battle in defeat, and I am also pleased. According to me and Prime Minister Zhongli, Liu Qing's performance may have been covered, but he didn't dare to take the credit, and he could still be believed. I also heard Cui Nan report that he wanted to adjust the big shield and the crossbow to enrich the village. I have already taken the right time, either I don't practice the military training, or I have to train it well, I am a soldier from the background, and I understand this reason. Even if the number of villagers is less than two hundred, if it is expanded, it will inevitably provoke criticism and attract public opinion, although I can protect it, but it is also overwhelmed, how can my energy be wasted on these crows and toads? ”

Lin Shuhan watched a paragraph, and was reminiscing, but saw that Qiu Yizhi had already gotten up and stood behind him, with a pair of eyes also staring at the emperor's letter, and was watching it with him.

So Lin Shuhan reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "Looking at your lord's affairs, thousands of pairs of eyes are staring at it, maybe there are countless pieces of music that have reached the heavens." Looking at the emperor's tone, if it weren't for the saint covering up for the adult, maybe the music would have drowned the adult! ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded, but said, "Please keep reading, sir." ”

Lin Shuhan heard that Qiu Yizhi didn't answer, so he licked his lips, and then looked down: "I also heard that Yizhi was complicated by military law, and he didn't want to apportionment on the people's heads, so he came up with a way to contact Zhou Cijing and Li Zhi to do business and draw a head from it. This is a very good method, which does not increase the burden on the people, and it is not a way to hurt the incorruptibility. These businessmen have a tight amount of money, and it is good to exploit some of them. ”

When Lin Shuhan read this, a chill appeared in his heart, and he said to Qiu Yizhi: "I didn't expect the emperor to be so sensitive. Among the civil and military officials in Jiangnan, even big businessmen like Zhou Cijing, all have the emperor's eyes and ears to take care of adults. In the future, adults will have something to listen to, and they must carefully consider the sentences, in case the response is not in order, it will inevitably be a little inconvenient. ”

Lin Shuhan deliberately used the word "care" to cover up the original meaning of "surveillance", Qiu Yizhi is such a smart person, he has already realized it, nodded vigorously, but did not speak, and his eyes continued to look behind the end of the letter.

Lin Shuhan also quickly moved his gaze back and continued to look down: "Recently, the northern Turks have been moving south, and I have sent Zheng Sen to defend, but this is not a long-term solution. In my lifetime, I hope to be able to attack the Turks in the north with the strength of the whole country, even if I can't wipe them out, at least I must be able to plow the court and sweep the holes, and strive to make it have no strength to go south for a hundred and fifty years under the first war. It's just that there are many places where the imperial court uses money now, and there are still outsiders in the south who are in Lingnan. ”

The last "丨" of the last "ah" character is used thick and thick, as if it is intertwined with helplessness, disappointment, and resentment, as if a dagger was inserted into Lin Shuhan's eyes, making him unbearable to look at directly.

Lin Shuhan then looked down: "The Taoist priest and warlock who the imperial brother originally raised in the palace have already been sent far away; The palace eunuchs have also dismissed the Tai Ban, and specially allocated the ripe fields reclaimed by the army to have their production; The Palace's other day-to-day expenses have also been cut by two-thirds. The queen is also very considerate, leading the imperial concubine and eunuch to reclaim the wasteland in the palace to grow grain and vegetables, and I eat much more delicious than the tribute from Sichuan and Shandong! However, I am so frugal, and the silver I save in a year is only a million taels, what use can I endure? ”

"Alas!" Lin Shuhan sighed deeply and said, "I didn't expect the saint to be so frugal, I really don't know what kind of face the officials at all levels in the court and the government dare to be extravagant and wasteful when they see it!" ”

Before Lin Shuhan's words fell, he heard a sobbing behind him, peeked in, and sure enough, he saw Qiu Yizhi wiping away tears.
