The plan of the provincial relatives fell through, because Chen Guo and Wei Guo had a friction on the border, dozens of people died, and the old emperor was furious, and he was immediately angry and bedridden.

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body."

The old emperor was lying on the bed with a pale face, standing with his head bowed slightly.

"Lonely, there's no big problem, what's the situation now?"

"The situation is not critical, a group of bandits from the defense of the country robbed the family of a prefect, and the bandits fled into my Chen Guotong County in a panic, and the county order collected the money and refused to hand it over, which caused chaos."

The old emperor was furious: "Has the county order been arrested?" ”

"I've been imprisoned, and the thieves have been returned, but I don't know what to do with it?"

"What else can be done, kill what should be killed, catch what should be caught."

Fei Qing and Wen Zhong glanced at each other, and Fei Qing said, "Your Majesty, the county order can't be killed, it's better to turn a blind eye." ”

"Why?" The old emperor glared and was angry.

"The county order accepted bribes and refused to hand over the bandits, but some of us knew it, the people of the world didn't know, and the people of the world only knew that the county order mistakenly thought that the thieves were from Chen Guo, so they took them in and didn't hand them over. Think about it, if we kill the county commander, what will the people of the world think. ”

The old emperor frowned and said, "But can't you be so cheap for him?" ”

"Of course, it almost caused a dispute between Chen Wei and the two countries, so naturally it can't be easily let go, but it must be three months later, when the time comes, just find a reason to withdraw it."

"Okay, do as you say."

At this time, the old eunuch Xu Yi announced loudly: "Concubine Su, the seventh princess has arrived." ”

"Let them in." A smile appeared on the old emperor's face.

"Your Majesty, the minister retires."

The old emperor waved his hand, and the left and right ministers withdrew, and when they met Concubine Su and Linghu Su at the door, the two saluted slightly.

Ling Hu Su's eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked Wen Zhong and Fei Qing: "Have you already made a decision?" ”

Regarding how to deal with the matter of the county order of Tongxian County, the imperial court has been discussing a lot, and Ling Husu can easily know it.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"What are you going to do?"

The two hesitated slightly, and Wen Zhong said, "We are ready to turn a blind eye and deal with the Tongxian county order later." ”

Ling Husu frowned and said, "Are you trying to make my Chen country's border collapse like an anthill?" ”

The two were shocked, and Ling Hu Su followed Concubine Su towards the house, and at the same time beckoned to the two prime ministers, and they followed.

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty."

"Su Su has seen his father."

"Oh, you always give me this set, come on, sit on the edge of my bed." The old emperor had a ruddy complexion, and people only missed their relatives more when they were most lonely.

Concubine Su walked over, Ling Hu Su didn't move, the old emperor was very surprised, and when he saw Fei Qing and Wen Zhong walking in again, he asked what else was going on.

Wen Zhong and Fei Qing were silent and looked at Ling Husu.

"Father, I think your solution is too problematic."

Before the old emperor could say anything, Concubine Su's face turned pale, and she scolded Linghu Su: "What do you know at a young age, come here." ”

The old emperor appeased Concubine Su, was happy, and asked, "What is the reason?" ”

"It is true that the county order of Tongxian County accepted bribes and shielded the bandits, the entire bureaucratic system of our country, from the father to the emperor, and the county order, all know about this matter, how can we turn a blind eye, paper can't contain the fire, and the dozens of soldiers who died can't die in vain. Furthermore, what does the Wei Association think, our county order shields murderers from other countries, and as a result, they can make an article about it, saying that our court is corrupt and incompetent, you may think that the people can deceive without knowing the inside story of this matter, but it is too simple to want the people to know. If I were a patriot, I would spread rumors everywhere and bribe border county orders, and then take the opportunity to send troops to attack Tong County. Even the Qin State and the Han State could not say anything, and not only could they not say anything, but they could also act in the same way, so that they would be able to carve up the Chen State. ”

"Thirdly, and most importantly, if there is one person first, there will be thousands of successors behind them, and when they see that someone in front of them is taking bribes, and the court is indifferent, this can encourage their emboldening. You decided to deal with the county order of Tongxian County in the future, under what pretext did you use at that time, under the pretext of accepting bribes? Definitely not, anyway, the source has been opened. The embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and in the long run, the border of the Chen State would decay. I even suspect that the bandits did not exist in the first place, and the whole incident was directed and staged by the defense of the country, in order to shake the authority of the imperial court on the border. ”

After Ling Hu Su finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded, Fei Qing and Wen Zhong suddenly realized that they had always felt that something was wrong, and after Ling Hu Su said it, they immediately understood.

"That's true, Your Majesty, the county order of Tongxian County must not be released, otherwise it will make other county orders on the border follow suit. The so-called mountain is high and the emperor is far away, in case they secretly communicate with the enemy country, I am afraid that it will cause a big chaos. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the dozens of soldiers who died must not die in vain, otherwise it will cause a shock in the army and among the people. We can't blame the guilt on Wei Guo, only the county commander bears it. ”

The old emperor was sober-minded, understood the key point, and asked Ling Husu: "What do you think of it?" ”

"Simple, tell the world that the patriots colluded with the Tongxian county order, causing the death of dozens of soldiers, and then the Tongxian county order was publicly executed. The more miserable the better, like Ling Chi's execution, the five horses splitting the corpses, etc., so that the emotions of the people of Tongxian County can be appeased. ”

"Chen Susu, what nonsense are you talking about!" Concubine Su yelled at Linghu Su and glanced at her, how could any girl say Ling Chi at every turn, and the five horses were divided.

Wen Zhong praised when he heard this: "The Seventh Princess is really smart, not only shifting the responsibility to the side of defending the country, but also appeasing the people and soldiers of our country. It is true that their people colluded with the county order, and the people will trust the court even more, because the court will never tolerate the guilty. ”

Fei Qing said: "What's even better is that other officials at the border don't dare to commit it again, so let the county magistrate of Tongxian die as miserably as possible, the proposal of the seventh princess is really wonderful." ”

Linghu Su smiled, and proposed: "It is best for the imperial court to send more weighty officials to appease the people and soldiers, reflecting the court's care for them." ”

Fei Qing and Wen Zhong went down to run errands, and the old emperor was half-lying on the bed, and dragged Ling Husu over and let him fall on the bed as well.

The old emperor rubbed his hair and said, "How did your little brain grow?" ”

Ling Husu was very annoyed, and he really wanted to cut his long hair, but he didn't dare. It's annoying to be a woman!

"Do you envy my cleverness, you think I'll be as stupid as you?"

"Susu!" Concubine Su shouted angrily again.

The old emperor smiled, his face wrinkled together, and said: "Indeed, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all waste, not as useful as you as a girl, haha, my father and I are also waste." ”

Ling Hu Su rolled his eyes and said, "Father is not a waste, father is the smartest." ”

"Oh, what's the reason for that?"

"Being able to stay sober in a group of wastes and govern the country well. Only the smartest people can do it. ”

"Haha, that's right, alas, if only your brothers could be as smart as you."
