The top of Qinjiazhuang Mountain.

Qin Huaidao was honest in the face of inquiries, and there was nothing to hide, and he was not afraid of people learning, it was not easy to study new products, and said bluntly: "It's just to treat craftsmen well, study items, and open up trade routes." ”

"Treat craftsmen well, study items, and open up trade routes?!" Fang Xuanling chewed these three sentences carefully, twelve words, gradually, his fiery eyes became dark, and his heart was bitter, I am afraid that this model can only be implemented by Qin Huaidao, Qinjiazhuang, and the imperial court can't do it at all.

Shi farmers and businessmen, craftsmen and merchants are ranked last, in the eyes of the Shi clan is lowly, if according to Qin Huaidao's method, it means that craftsmen and merchants are valued, how do the Shi clan look at it?

The scholars control the dynasty, and without the support of the scholars, no matter how good the model is, it will not work.

The more he thought about Fang Xuanling, the more sad he felt in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at Li Er.

Li Er was so shrewd, he also thought of the truth, and said nothing with a cold face.

The hundred officials are different, carefully taste the truth, secretly write it down, and think about going back to spread the letter to the family according to this way, the court will not work, but the family is no problem.

Everyone was silent in thought, and the scene was a little awkward.

Qin Huaidao saw that the fireworks were almost over, so he said hello and left, Luo Wu hurriedly caught up and said in a low voice: "Uncle, the accompanying two thousand Yu Lin Wei, the one who came is not good, there will be no accident, right?" ”

"Let the people of the Guards Regiment secretly be on guard, just in case, but they can't be exposed, let alone take action privately, but if Yu Linwei dares to do it, don't have any worries, just kill them all." Qin Huaidao admonished, it is indispensable to guard against people, who knows if Li Er will take the opportunity to do it?

Luo Wu nodded knowingly, and hurriedly went safely.

Li Er watched Qin Huaidao leave with complicated eyes, then looked at the many princes beside him, and then looked at Yu Linwei who was under martial law not far away, sighed secretly, raised his head again, and silently looked at the fireworks that exploded in the night sky, his eyes were complicated, and his mind was unpredictable.

Living for a day, Li Er believes that if he can control the situation, Qin Huaidao will not rebel, but once he returns to heaven, can the successor stabilize Qin Huaidao and not rebel?

At that time, even if Qin Huaidao doesn't rebel, others will push back, just like themselves back then.

I want to use it so much, I don't dare to use it, I'm aggrieved!

The more I thought about Li Er, the more irritable I became, and suddenly I heard a shocking drum sound, like a soldier on the battlefield, like the neighing of a war horse, which made people can't help but boil their blood.

"What's the situation, do you want to sing?" Fang Xuanling pretended to be surprised and said, but actually reminded Li Er not to be overly nervous, and not to worry about anything.

At this time, a high-pitched, loud voice sounded-

The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north.

The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost.

The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, who can resist in 20 years.

Hatred is mad and long, and how many siblings are loyal to their souls......

The familiar lyrics, the familiar melody, and the war drum soundtrack, everyone couldn't help but boil their blood, clenched their fists, and remembered the beacon years more than ten years ago, the days of Iron Horse Jingo, and the eternal sleep of the robe......

Inevitably, everyone hummed along to the melody.

Li Er suddenly thought of the first time he heard this song when the Beiyuan Forbidden Army camp saw him off, at that time he was selfless and trusting, and he was full of expectations for Qin Huaidao, and Qin Huaidao also lived up to his trust, not only won the Khitan, but also defeated Goguryeo in one fell swoop, what a great achievement, what a unity of monarchs and ministers.

Unfortunately, yesterday is gone!

If you want to blame yourself for not having much time, if you are ten years younger, Li Er will not hesitate to reuse Qin Huaidao, and there is no need to worry about anything, but King Jin is still too young, and his experience and ability are insufficient, not to mention Qin Huaidao, I am afraid that those old foxes in the court may not be able to descend.

"Ahh

A secret sigh, endless melancholy.

After singing the song, Li Er was already interested in the song and left silently.

Everyone was suspicious, but no one dared to ask, so they hurried to follow.

The group quietly left Qinjiazhuang surrounded by Yu Linwei, and got into their respective carriages when they came to the door.

Fang Xuanling was about to wait for the car, when Wang De's voice came from behind him, the saint was invited, and he followed him to the side of the dragon, and without waiting for the salute to ask, Li Er's tired voice came from the car: "Xuanling, come up and talk." ”

It was a great honor to travel in the same car with Shengshang, but Fang Xuanling keenly felt that something was wrong and didn't want to go up, but he had to go up, so he agreed and went up and got into the carriage.

"Sit down, you and I have a good chat." Li Er made an invitation.

"Holy Lord, are you alright?" Fang Xuanling saw that Li Er's face was full of fatigue and a little worried.

"It's okay, let's go!" The latter sentence is what Wang De said who was waiting outside.

"Let's go!"

Wang De's sharp voice spread all around, and the carriage started and rolled forward.

In the carriage, the two monarchs and ministers were relatively silent, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

After a while, Li Er suddenly said: "Xuan Ling, Huai Dao is a good boy, but I am worried." ”

These words were like thunder, which shocked Fang Xuanling's face greatly, but he didn't dare to answer.

Li Er stared at Fang Xuanling and continued: "You tell me the truth, can I trust him?" ”

This question was even more acute and straightforward, and Fang Xuanling didn't dare to answer, but seeing the confusion and bitterness in Li Er's eyes, he couldn't help but think of the kindness of the monarch and the minister in the past few decades, and he felt bitter in his heart, and said truthfully: "Shengshang, the minister doesn't know whether the saint should trust Huaidao, but the minister can guarantee one thing, as long as the minister is in one day, Huaidao will not be opposed." ”

The implication is that who knows what will happen after death, of course Li Er also understands this truth, everyone is dead, how can he manage so much, but Li Er is an emperor, not a courtier, he must consider the afterlife, consider the eternal stability of the country, and asked: "I also believe that he will not go that far, but what about the future?" ”

This is a proposition, Fang Xuanling didn't dare to answer, but in the face of Li Er's almost straightforward questioning, he had to answer, otherwise he would be suspected of harboring and complicity, and said with a wry smile: "Holy Lord, the minister has not lived for a few years." ”

"yes, they're all old!" Li Er smiled bitterly, revealing a little helplessness.

And what about the emperor? There are the same unsatisfactory things, and the same troubles.

Fang Xuanling looked at his nose and nose, and his nose looked at his heart, and he didn't want to discuss this issue, so Li Er also clicked until he didn't ask more.

The convoy entered the city unconsciously, Li Er asked Wang De to pass the order, let the civil and military officials go home, and he also returned to the palace under the escort of Yu Linwei, Fang Xuanling took the opportunity to get out of the car, saw Li Jing's carriage come and stopped, and tacitly got in.

"Are you alright?" Li Jing asked with concern.

Fang Xuanling told the conversation just now truthfully, Li Jing closed his eyes slightly after listening, and was silent, Fang Xuanling carefully recalled the conversation just now, and did not let go of any expression, tone, and heavy mood.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the two were silent for a long time.

After a while, Li Jing suddenly said: "What the Holy Lord asked, at first glance, he was at a loss and worried about what was going on, but in fact he was beating you and me. ”

"Calm down and think about it, it's true, the Holy Master's scheming is getting heavier and heavier, what should you and I do?"

"The saint also understands that in the end of the current state, once the balance is broken, Qin Huaidao will really rebel if he is in a hurry, it doesn't matter to us, but it is very harmful to the saint and the imperial court, so the saint will maintain this state, and the reason why he is beating is to hope that we will not get close to Qin Huaidao and maintain the balance."

Fang Xuanling pondered carefully for a while, and agreed: "It makes sense, the saint is afraid that the balance will be broken now, causing trouble, and he is even more afraid that after returning to heaven, we will support the King of Han, which will cause the prestige of the imperial court to plummet and the country to change hands, but I will wait for one day, of course I don't want to see the beacon fire rise again, but where can I control it after I don't wait anymore?" ”

"After death, let it flood to the sky, the old man just wants to die on the battlefield, but this simple wish is not given to me, a lifetime regret." Li Jing was depressed and aggrieved.

"What do you want to do?" Fang Xuanling keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Li Jing did not hide it, and said calmly: "I want to resign and return to my hometown." ”

"Then take the opportunity to go to Hanzhou, right?" Fang Xuanling is not stupid, he broke it directly.

Li Jing didn't deny it, and smiled.

Fang Xuanling understood the glory and belief of the soldiers, it was not easy to persuade, thought about it, and said: "Not now, in a few months, wait for Huaidao to leave, otherwise it will affect the layout of Huaidao, and when the time comes, find an opportunity to submit your resignation, the saint will definitely not agree, you leave quietly, and you are not afraid of affecting the layout of Huaidao." ”

"The old man also plans to do the same, inform you in advance, and after New Year's Day, he will slowly resign from all his positions, be idle at home, and say to the outside world to write a military book and thank you behind closed doors."

"Now that the decision has been made, there is no reason to stop it." Fang Xuanling motioned for the carriage to stop.

After getting off the car, Fang Xuanling watched Li Jing's carriage drift away, his mood was complicated, and the old brothers had different hearts, but who was to blame?

Is it the one in the palace? But he just did what a father should do.

Do you blame everyone for apostasy? But it's all for the sake of the family, for survival.

Alas!

A sigh, endless melancholy.
