Summer Solstice (7)

"You said Lord Qi......... Lord Qi, he...."Su Kai took two steps back in disbelief and was speechless. No wonder, no wonder Qingfei is so resolute, it turns out that it is not just because he is a capital crime.

Xue Ling said: "What are you doing with such a big reaction, otherwise why do you think I went to the Qi family in the first place, but I didn't expect Qi Shiyan to be cunning and cunning, so he resigned from the official through me, lest Wei Long not let him go." After speaking, she went straight inside, planning to go to the pavilion where the three of them ate fish that day to sit down, today she came, for the Huo family, I really don't want to spend more time on these things.

Su Kai refused to give up, he learned to be rich and five cars, talked about the major affairs of the family and the country, and read Confucian orthodoxy, and knew nothing about these conspiracies. It's just that he doesn't want to delve into the rights and wrongs of grievances, and only cares about Qi Qingfei alone. trotted to catch up with Xue Ling, tugged at her shirt and said, "Qingfei also knows this, she knows everything, right?" ”

Since he fled that year, Xue Ling has a lot of disgust at others touching him. Seeing that Su Kaila refused to give up, he didn't care about what happened back then, but instead focused on Qi Qingfei's problem, which was also very angry. said: "What does she know, how do I know, anyway, I didn't say anything to her, you take your hand away for me first." ”

Su Yan lost his hand at this time, stood in place and muttered: "She knows that I am the queen of the Song family, no wonder, no wonder..."

"Song family"? Xue Ling repeated loudly, then knew that he was out of shape, and hurriedly glanced around. The conscience of heaven and earth, Qi Shiyan did not mention Song Bai's matter in front of him. According to Qi Qingfei's age, he shouldn't know about the tragedy of the Song family back then, even if he did, there was no reason to know that Su Kai was Song Cang.

She was a little anxious for a while, Qi Qingfei was a brainless person. She knew about such a fatal event, and she was sure how many people would know about it. It doesn't matter whether Su Kaiguan can keep it or not, I'm afraid he won't be able to save his life. I had to ask Su Kai "How did she know, how did she tell you?" I never mentioned these things. ”

Su Kai's mood was already very low, he really liked Qi Qingfei. When he left Beijing, he was still young. went to Ming County, and it was all kinds of hardships and hardships. It was not easy to be nominated, and he was always worried about his true identity, and he didn't dare to have too much to do with everyone in the court, lest he miss out before the Song family was rehabilitated. Qi Qingfei is the only one, smiling and simple-minded, and Lord Qi has no desire to fight for power and profit, and never asks more about his past than others. This relationship comes as a matter of course.

Su Yan recounted the experience of the night in a low voice, and blamed himself with remorse: "I'm afraid that I said it myself, I said it myself." He believed Xue Ling, since Xue Ling said no, it should be really not. It is more likely that Qing Fei knew about the involvement of Qi Shiyan and Xue Song's family, and knew that he was friendly with Xue Ling, so he came to ask what the relationship was. I didn't expect to be at a loss, so I said it all.

Xue Ling held his right wrist, and his eyes were about to roll to the clouds, what kind of fool is this, he is really a natural pair with Qi Qingfei. However, she would not be more harsh than scolding Su Yan, so she could only sulk and go her own way. Until he sat down in the pavilion, Su Kai was still beating his chest there.

Xue Ling has also seen a lot of these men and women love each other, and he used to have a little nostalgia for spring, but he has never met anyone who can have that throbbing. Now I feel more and more that these crazy men and women are boring to die or live.

There was even a hint of luck, Qi Qingfei knew that Su Kai was Song Bai's son, and with that girl's mentality, it was estimated that she had no face to come to the door at all, but she saved herself from being a villain. Pick up a free day and go to Chen Wangfu to tell a few more words, no matter how bad it is, there is always a Qi Qingyi who knows how to measure.

The scenery in the pavilion is not bad, but Su Yan's residence has always been unattended, and the stone table is empty. Xue Ling supported his head with his hands, sat there and looked at Su Kai and sighed for a long time. I couldn't help but say, "Can you get some tea, I don't have time to see your children's relationship today." ”

Su Kai got up again and went by himself, and after a while brought a pot of water and two cups. Xue Ling poured himself a glass and said, "I want to ask Huo Zhun what happened in the court this morning." ”

Su Yan looked at the pot of water but didn't pour it for himself, sighed and said, "How do you know, this matter spread so quickly"? After asking, he didn't wait for Xue Ling to answer, and said to himself: "Lord Huo wrote a letter, saying that King Xianbei Tuoba had the intention to seek peace and resume the trade and trade of Liang, and still regarded himself as a vassal of Liang, but within ten years, he would not pay taxes. ”

Xue Ling took a sip of tea and thought to himself, "a bunch of nonsense". She looked at Su Kai more and more unpleasantly. is really Zi Xiao's father, she didn't look at Song Bai very well back then. She waited for Su Kai to continue, but Su Kai thought that she had finished speaking, so she stopped. looked like he wanted to talk and stopped, maybe he wanted to talk about Qi Qingfei again. Xue Ling hurriedly said, "What did Wei Long say?" ”

Su Yan glanced at Xue Ling twice, not knowing whether Xue Ling called the Son of Heaven by his name, or was sad that what he wanted to say was interrupted. Said slowly: "Your Majesty is naturally furious, Xianbei only fought with Liang three years ago, and a princess died. Putting these aside and not making a confession, it is clear that there is also a deliberate provocation. But what Huo Xiang said is not unreasonable, and in the end, all colleagues discussed together, not to negotiate peace with Xianbei for the time being, and to prevent the rise of the Qian clan too quickly by limiting the market. ”

These messages are nothing more than an expansion of the content on the Jiang family's note, and most of Xue Ling knows about it. After listening to it, I didn't express my opinion for a while, and I thought about it in the middle of the joint. Su Kai thought that Xue Ling might not be very familiar with political affairs, and added: "I think Huo Xiang's words are reasonable, which means that if Liang Yiyi supports the Liang clan, after a few years, the Qian clan will be powerful and the Hu people will be unified, and the threat to Liang will indeed be even greater." It's better to let them benefit each other internally and compete to please Liang Lai. But it is also true that His Majesty is embarrassed, three years ago..."Su Yan paused for a moment, thinking that it was because Song Bai died tragically because of Xianbei. Seeing that Xue Ling still had no reaction, he continued: "The three-year battle was too tragic, and Tuoba Mill burned and plundered all the way, this time the son negotiated peace, and the wolf's ambition is unknown. The loyal ministers are guarding against the skin of the tiger, and they come, and it is indeed too insulting for the country to be mentioned by Tuoba Mill. ”

Li is such a reason, of course Xue Ling can understand it when he thinks about it, but this should not be the Huo family's means. If you think about it, you should know that Wei Long will never allow Xianbei to pass through Ningcheng, so isn't it to let the Huo family and Xianbei eat at the same table. She Xue Ling thought of it, and Huo Zhun had no reason not to think of it. It's really impossible to make such a move to send his face up for Wei Long to beat. So, why? If it is Huo Zhun Chengzhu in his chest, it is unreasonable to calculate that Wei Long has to agree, after all, in the end, Wei Long refuted it simply, and he didn't even discuss it for a few more days.

And in doing so, it is to block the road between the Huo family and Xianbei. Before this fold was put up, the Huo family could actually secretly collude with Xianbei. Even if he is caught, and then he takes out today's rhetoric in the court, collaborating with the enemy and treason, he will become a burden of enduring humiliation and being a beam. With the power of the Huo family, such a clever tongue, even Wei Long is helpless, and he may be able to win a reputation as a virtuous man through the ages. Now, since the emperor has not allowed his words, and even does not hesitate to self-destruct the trade order he issued before, he will live and die with Xianbei, and if he is caught again, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Daluo Immortal to save the head of the Huo family.

If it is said that Huo Zhun is not drunk, it is for the sake of the market restriction order, which is a bit possible. After all, once the trade between Liang and Liang was restricted by the emperor's order, it was inevitable that there would be disagreements. Whether it is cutting off Shen Zaixian's foreign aid, or framing the Shen family for violating the restriction of the city, you can find a way out of it. But the success rate of this is not very high. As long as Wei Long is still on the side of the Shen family, how to interpret the word "limit", I am afraid that it will not be Huo Zhun's turn to intervene.

Besides, Wei Long, what kind of bullshit is insulting to the country, he is just absolutely impossible for the Huo family to openly associate with Xianbei, and the poor courtiers really think that the emperor's dragon bones are strong, which really makes people laugh off their big teeth. Xue Ling couldn't imagine for a while that there was a Tuoba Mill who was involved thousands of miles away, so he really couldn't think of the meaning of this play, so he could only come over and ask Su Kai what the situation was at that time. To say that after Su Kai was in high school, he had been standing on the Jinluan Hall for a long time. Xue Ling hadn't discussed anything with him yet, and this total was not angry. It is undeniable that Su Kai is indeed a talent for governing the country. His opinion on Huo Zhun's book is also decent, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is a pity that governing the country cannot govern people.

Xue Ling said: "Then what do you think about this." ”

Su Kai talked about state affairs, and eased Qi Qingfei's depressed heart knot a little. Seeing that Xue Ling asked seriously, he said: "Since I think that Huo Xiang's starting point is to serve the country and the people, I naturally think that the emperor has handled it properly." Whether it is to negotiate peace with Xianbei, or to restrict trade orders with the Xianbei. It's a good idea for the moment. The former, although his reputation is hindered, but the husband can bend and stretch, and he is also the king of a country. But the latter is not without merit. And the matter of restricting the market, Liang can go secretly, although there are some villains, but the state affairs are big. However, the emperor only gave an order today, and the specific measures will be discussed for several days before they come out. If you are interested in this matter, I will keep you informed. ”

The conversation between the two was obviously not right, Xue Ling wanted to know how Su Kai guessed Huo Zhun's intention to do this, but he didn't expect Su Kai to talk to her about how important this government affairs is for the country and the people. is also an emperor, and he will not leave His Majesty in three sentences. If Wei Long's dog is really famous, why should she sit in this hellish place. Can't you run horses in the grasslands of Pingcheng?

The water in the cup had already bottomed out, and Xue Ling didn't bother to continue. Forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked: "Since you have all the major affairs in the world, when do you plan to turn over the Xue Song case?" ”

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and heard Xue Ling's teasing words. He has only been an official for a few months, how can he control the world, and Xue Song's case is really not in a hurry. said: "I have already made friends with several ministers who handled this matter back then, once I find evidence, I will ask the emperor to review it, you don't have to be too anxious, the truth will see the light of day one day." At the end of speaking, Su Kai's tone was a little heavier.

He was indeed quite concerned about this matter, and the past did not disappear as Xue Ling thought. It's just that the two of them walked in different ways.

However, Xue Ling couldn't care about this, she was used to making her own decisions since she was a child, how could she stand the difference in other people's behavior, when she heard Su Yan say this, she was even more irritable, and she couldn't stop pinching her wrists, thinking about whether to take the strip of cloth from her purse and throw it in the face of this idiot one day. It's better to go to Jiangfu. Anyway, Jiang Hong's old fox can give some advice.

Seeing that she was silent, Su Yan looked cautiously for a moment, he was always afraid of Xue Ling. After all, when he was robbing prisoners back then, Xue Ling's every move was human life. even, in the end, kicked his brother's body out of the way. Of course, he also knew that the eldest brother really couldn't survive, but that scene was always a little terrifying.

Su Yan pursed his lips and said, "Do you know where Lord Qi's family went?" He didn't know that Qi Qingfei stayed in Beijing, and he just thought that he had followed Qi Shiyan back to his hometown. I had a misunderstanding that day and didn't go to say goodbye. At this time, I hope Xue Ling knows where Qi Shiyan's family went. If he had the chance, he could still find a way to find Qingfei.

When Xue Ling heard it, Su Yan wanted to go to Qi Qingfei, but pretended not to know. Putting aside his face and answering, "I don't know, Qi Shiyan was stupid by me, how could he tell me where his hometown is." She didn't lie, she really didn't know where Qi Shiyan's family went. As for where Qi Qingfei was, Su Kai didn't ask, and there was no need to say more.

Su Yan was a little lonely, but he didn't doubt him, it was true that the Qi family had a dislike with Xue Ling, and it was reasonable to know, he could only ask his colleagues who were good friends with Qi Shiyan in the future, and he didn't know if he could get the information.

The matter has been said to this point, Xue Ling simply asked about the daughter of the Shen family. Su Yan didn't hide it, and said: "Your Majesty has this intention, and I have barely reached the age of saying kiss." It's just that I excused myself at the behest of my parents. ”

Xue Ling said: "Why do you want to resign, the Shen family is a popular person in Wei Long's eyes, with this family matter, you are half of the Shen family." ”

Su Yan said: "Marriage matters, how can it be child's play, what's more, I don't know that Miss Shen, if she mistakes her for her own selfishness, how can she be worthy of so many years of sage teaching." ”

Xue Ling stared at Su Yan's serious appearance and couldn't help laughing. It's not that I think Su Kai is stupid, it's just that this old pedant really doesn't look like a young man of seventeen or eighteen. But what should a seventeen or eighteen boy look like? In fact, she hadn't seen a few in Pingcheng, so she thought of Shi Qilai for no reason. In the past few months, people have come and gone, and why Shi Qi has become the one who takes advantage of his own heart. Young and crazy, dare to love and hate, recalling the phrase "mongrel" feels like a true temperament.

Su Yan blushed a little and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Xue Ling slapped his wrist twice, stood up and said, "It's time for me to go back, since you have the heart to investigate the old cases of the Xue and Song families, you don't have to need the help of others, and you always have to make friends and colleagues." Family affairs are a good shortcut, not to mention that it is the Shen family that is clinging. The things of the year were intertwined, and there was no entanglement of interests, who would bother to help you. You have to think before you decide. ”

Su Yan didn't expect Xue Ling to say this. In the court, there are some dirty things between officials and officials, but in any case, he never thought about this, and only relied on his enthusiasm to do things. Moreover, after all, he thought that Xue Ling was a daughter, and he was really shocked by what Xue Ling thought.

Xue Ling didn't say much, good words are hard to persuade the damned ghost, if this Su Yan is really useless, she doesn't have to force the horse to drink, as long as she doesn't make trouble for herself. just mentioned one sentence in the end: "As far as I know, Wei Long is suspicious, you have to push again and again, it's better to find a better reason, otherwise, I can't save you a second time." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The tea on the stone table was cold, Su Kai stood stunned for a while, picked up the teapot and shook it twice, and poured himself a cup. Thinking back to this afternoon, there was a lot of unpleasantness between his words and Xue Ling. I couldn't think of it for a while, but I said something wrong and offended that sister.

Gratitude, there must be, after all, it is a life-saving grace. But he really can't look at Xue Ling in some aspects, he just holds his own identity, and thinks that Xue Ling has been a man since he was a child, so he tolerates a lot. It's no wonder that Su Kai, he and Xue Ling have learned and experienced almost completely different, and it is inevitable that things will be done in different directions. The civil and military families are different, and there are many things, it is really difficult for a scholar to understand it.
