During a detailed discussion in the secret room in February, Qiu Shilang and Shi Yingxian both took action against Xie Jiulang, but due to the opposition of Wei Baohu and Xiao Tian, Shi Yingxian did not take action. Qiu Shilang is also waiting to see what happens. It just so happened that a few days ago, King Xiang bought a murderer to assassinate Xie Jiulang and failed, and Qiu Shilang thought that this was an excellent opportunity to plant blame.

So, he took the name of King Xiang and bought five masters to assassinate Xie Jiulang. Even if the incident can't be found on his head, the unlucky King Xiang will help to take the blame. Qiu Shilang thought that it was seamless, but he thought that Xie Jiulang's life should not be extinguished, and he actually escaped again.

Qiu Shilang's chest was depressed, and he walked around the garden alone after returning home.

This time the incident failed, Qiu Shilang did not plan to use assassination to solve Xie Jiulang again. Right now, Cha Qingyuan has done Jing Zhaoyin, and it is easy to get a handle on Xie Jiulang from a foreign country. As for how to do it......

Qiu Shilang decided to borrow His Majesty's sword and kill Xie Jiulang.

He didn't discuss buying a murder with Wei Baohu and the others, and this time, he didn't plan to discuss it either. Because he knew that Wei Baohu and the others would have to play the old tune that Xie Jiulang was a woman like a child.

Xie Jiulang is now a child, but he will one day grow into a man-eating tiger. Qiu Shilang must not watch Xie Jiulang's wings grow, he can only harden his heart and be an ugly person and an evil person. When it happens, they will thank him.

Qiu Shilang was thinking to himself, when he heard footsteps in the distance, he followed the sound, and saw Qiu Yi walking towards him with his hands behind his back. Qiu Shilang hurriedly got up and stepped forward and called: "Father......"

Qiu Yi smiled and asked softly: "When Fang Ya came back, he didn't come to the study to play chess with me, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"I ......," Qiu Shilang said for a while.

The Wangguo drum music in front of the Guangming Hall made Qiu Yi full of praise for Xie Jiulang, and he also went to Xie Mansion to have an apprenticeship banquet. Therefore, regarding the assassination of Xie Jiulang or other plans, Qiu Shilang could not confide half a word to Qiu Yi.

"My son is struggling with the drought. In the past two days, the price of rice in Kyoto has been rising steadily, and it has reached a point where it is difficult for poor families to bear. It's ...... good thing that Kyoto hasn't been very peaceful lately, so you can cover it up with a random excuse. However, Qiu Shilang is really worried about the price of rice. This morning, the Golden Servant proposed to His Majesty the Emperor to transfer 200,000 stone rice grains from Huiluocang to Kyoto, which on the one hand could alleviate the anxious mood of the people and stabilize prices on the other hand.

Fang Mutai, the squire of the Golden Ministry, was rigid and conservative by nature, did not eat soft and hard, did not eat oil and salt, and had little personal relationship with the ministers of the DPRK and China. Even if Liu Weifeng wants to win him over, he thinks he is not sophisticated. Therefore, he still does not know the changes of the three granaries.

Hearing this, Qiu Yi let out a long sigh, "Yes, the people are suffering." ”

The father and son talked and paced into the Liuyun Pavilion together. They sat facing each other on the stone bench, knee-crossing, and talked to each other.

"There is a saying that if you are not in your position, you will not be in charge. The price of rice is an errand for the household, which round will you worry about? Qiu Yi was heartbroken that his beloved son couldn't show his ambitions, but he couldn't help but mention something.

Qiu Shilang smiled bitterly and nodded, "What my father said is extremely true. However, Chafu Yin has arrested the owner of the rice shop who maliciously raised the price of rice today, and he has the right to set an example for the chickens and monkeys. ”

"The meaning of being a father is not to let you think that as an official in the court, you should bear in mind the suffering of the world, and be busy for the people's livelihood and well-being. However, An Taishi had long warned that the drought was coming, and His Majesty still put all his mind on Liu Weifeng. The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are busy forming gangs again, hehe......" Qiu Yi shook his head helplessly, "He is far worse than the old prince!" ”

"Father, in fact, I really don't blame him for dealing with Liu Weifeng this time. Do you know that Liu Weifeng emptied the three granaries of Luokou, Hanjia, and Huiluo to fill his pockets. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Qiu Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Not only that, Liu Weifeng actually persuaded Dugu Mingyue to go to Donggu and slander Emperor Mingzong in order to plan for Emperor Mingzong to attack Southern Qi. Liu Weifeng can take advantage of the opportunity to defend against foreign enemies and achieve the purpose of avoiding disasters. ”

When Qiu Yi heard this, he slapped his thigh angrily and scolded sharply: "What a willow fang slave who eats inside and out!" In vain, Nanqi Erlang! ”

"After the battle of Cangshui, Donggu and Nanqi were safe on the surface, but in fact, there was an undercurrent. Even if Liu Weifeng didn't deliberately provoke it, Nanqi and Donggu would have a battle sooner or later, but now, Liu Weifeng has hollowed out the granary, so what can we do to compete with Donggu? After that, Qiu Shilang couldn't help but sigh.

Qiu Shilang's voice was raised, "Then we should arrest Liu Fangnu!" And the willow fangs are also locked! But how did I hear that Taichang Temple is still preparing for Liu Fangzi's birthday? Do you have to wait until the catastrophe is coming to put Liu Weifeng in prison? ”

"Father, freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Liu Weifeng did not become the current climate in a day or two. What he secretly hoarded grain and grass for, needless to say, he could guess seven or eight points. Maybe Your Majesty still needs to make another deployment, so he didn't act rashly. ”

"It's self-inflicted! On that day, he promoted Liu Weifeng to balance Wei Baohu, and today, he reuses Wei Baohu to suppress Liu Weifeng. I want to see which one he supports to deal with Wei Baohu after uprooting Liu Weifeng. Qiu Yi sneered, sneered and said, "I'm afraid he also regrets not being at the beginning, right?" ”

"At that time, he had just ascended the throne, and he needed Liu Weifeng to stabilize his position." Thinking about the past, the father and son were silent for a long time.

As twilight fades, the view of the garden becomes obscured.

"Father, let's go back to dinner." Qiu Shilang reached out to support Qiu Yi's elbow.

"Let's go back." Qiu Yi held Qiu Shilang's hand and said with emotion: "Old man, my legs and feet are not flexible." ”

"What did my father say, didn't you say some time ago that you were going to Tubo with Mr. Hua and Humble Weng?" Qiu Shilang grabbed Qiu Yi's arm and asked with a smile.

"Hey, the clumsy man can't bear his little apprentice." Qiu Yi's dry and warm palm covered the back of Qiu Shilang's hand, "I can't bear my son!" ”

Qiu Shilang hadn't been so intimate with his father for a long time, he smiled like a child, and said softly: "My son can't bear to be father." ”

"Huh? Why hasn't Shanshan's letter arrived this month? Qiu Yi thought of his good daughter who was far away in Yongnian County, and he couldn't help but miss it.

"Maybe you're good and busy." Qiu Shilang replied absentmindedly.

As soon as he remembered the look on the way Clumsy Weng talked about Xie Jiulang, he felt a little unbearable. If Xie Jiulang really died, many people would be sad.

"It would be nice if only he were in the Kyoto Academy." Qiu Yi said that his feet slipped, Qiu Shilang hurriedly hugged him, and said nervously: "Father be careful." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Qiu Yi patted the back of Qiu Shilang's hand to signal him to feel at ease.

"Actually, I made a decision with Humble Weng to leave for Tibet in the autumn. You are not allowed to write to tell Shanseon, if she knows, she will be verbose. Qiu Shanshan was afraid that Qiu Yi's boat would be tiring and his body would be unbearable. Qiu Shilang thinks that at his father's age, it is a pleasure to be able to travel with old friends. It's a big deal to send more servants to accompany and wait, so as to ensure that there is no sin on the road.

"Well, it's saved."

The backs of the two fathers and sons slowly disappeared into the night like a light ink painting.
