"That is, people who don't know the height of the sky, rely on your brother's power, run rampant, act recklessly, are arrogant and unreasonable, and are crazy and arrogant?" Ling'er stared at her eyes and pursed her mouth and was very unhappy, people are obviously not sauce purple!

"Hehe, in fact, it's not just you, your brother and I are probably this persona." Xiao Chen smiled, "Otherwise, how can we be brothers and sisters?" In short, if it is inconvenient for my brother to come forward in the future, you will do it for me, of course, you have to do it well, if you do it wrong, you will still be spanked. ”

"Okay then." Ling'er happily agreed, "So I can not only sell things to Lin Qi, but if others want to buy them and find me, I can also secretly sell them a little?" ”

"Of course not!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "You little girl dares to do illegal business without me, if I don't know, forget it, as long as I know, I will be severely punished!" ”

"The sister doesn't dare, the sister quits." Ling'er gritted her teeth, silver shining.

Someone asked, if Li Shi or Li Feng found Ling'er and asked to buy armaments, would Ling'er agree?

Of course it will, as long as the price is right, and! Don't let my brother know!

Then if someone wants to buy a car and Yanyun's new artillery, will Ling'er also sell the musket?

Of course not, because Ling'er knows what can be bought and sold and what can't.

Second, do you think Ling'er can get anything she wants?

When Old Man Chen, Zhuge Xiaosheng, Ye Baiqing, and Liu Congshu are all decorations? But all important materials must be exported with the approval of several of them, smuggling and reselling? It doesn't exist at all!

Winter goes to spring, everything recovers, the ice and snow have already smiled, the frozen hard land has gradually softened, and the construction of the imperial tomb has officially begun, and after a grand ceremony, the construction will start immediately.

Gong Shouli is the director of the tomb personally appointed by the emperor, Xiao Chen is the deputy director, Yuan Ren is the supervisor, and the construction unit is the Ministry of Industry.

Because the construction of the imperial tomb is not trivial, Li Hong, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, personally served as the chief engineer, and led the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works to design the drawings after many days of research.

However, although this project is extremely important, in fact, the construction is not complicated, especially the initial work can be summed up in one word, dig!

Responsible for leading the construction were more than 100 civil engineering battalion brothers led by Sun Changshan, as well as more than 2,000 craftsmen and civilians recruited with heavy money.

These people all signed up voluntarily, and in the words of the common people, they are all people who want money and don't want their lives. Because of the old legend, all the craftsmen who built the imperial tomb for the emperor will all be buried alive in the end, sorry......

Not to mention that the common people are muttering, even Li Hong is vague.

On the construction site, he pulled Xiao Chen aside and whispered, Boss Xiao, are there any danger to our lives in doing this errand?

Anyway, brother, as soon as I saw this big pit, my heart suddenly exploded. If in the future, the emperor wants to bury all those craftsmen and men alive below to keep the secret of the mausoleum, then I, the chief design engineer responsible for planning the construction drawings, will not bear the brunt?

Xiao Chen said that the common people are not sensible, and you are not sensible as a dignified waiter?

Is our emperor that kind of person?

Besides, as far as your Li Hong's life is valuable, isn't Lao Tzu's life and Lao Gong's life valuable?

And you are a fool to be Lao Gong, is it to dig your own grave for this errand Baba!

Li Hong said that it is not necessarily, Gong Shouli is a diehard loyalist of our emperor, even if he is allowed to be martyred, he may be very happy!

Xiao Chen said that this is even more nonsense, how could the emperor let people give him a funeral?

But if Lao Gong takes the initiative to ask for a funeral, we must meet his request at that time......

"Boss Xiao, but all those who are martyred, aren't they all 'active'?" Li Hongdao, "I was a Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy for a period of time after I won the Jinshi, and participated in the revision of history, and the matter of martyrdom is not uncommon in history, there is an emperor who strangled all the concubines in the palace to death and buried him with him, but said that they were all voluntary. ”

"Well, so we can't just count on the benevolence of the king, but also have to eradicate this kind of thing from the system, it is cruel to bury the living, but it is also very shameful to replace it with human figurines, no wonder Confucius once said, 'The initiator, there is no aftermath'." Xiao Chen said.

"The key is that we as courtiers don't count it, and besides, our emperor is also wise, and the next emperor may not be." Li Hong would also say this kind of thing to Xiao Chen.

"So it's actually of great significance for us to do this, the emperor has repeatedly explained that his mausoleum should be simple, in fact, it is not a pretense gesture, but he really wants to reverse this bad atmosphere, he as a person of Taizu has set a precedent of simplicity, and in the future, no matter how bad the descendants are, they will not dare to cross the system." Xiao Chen said.

"Well, our emperor is not only benevolent and virtuous, but also extremely broad-minded." Li Hongdao, "I didn't expect the emperor to send you to do this errand with Gong Shouli." ”

"Hell, you people always think that my relationship with the emperor is very complicated!" Xiao Chen said, "In fact, the emperor is as kind to me as a mountain, and I am also extremely loyal to the emperor. ’”

"Hehe, this isn't a rumor." Li Hong said with a smile, "You Boss Xiao is entrenched in Yanyun, holding Gao Juli in his hand, and occupying Yizhou...... This is not something that a loyal servant can do. ”

"I don't entrench Yanyun, Yanyun has long fallen into the hands of the northern Xinjiang tribes, I don't hold Gao Juli, Gao Juli has long been invaded and assimilated by the Dongying people, I don't occupy Yizhou, Yizhou has long fallen into the hands of those Western bandits, why don't you talk about these actual situations?" Xiao Chen said.

"Then since you have recovered everything, why don't you hand it over to the emperor directly?" Li Hongdao.

"If I give it to the emperor, do you think the emperor can accept it?" Xiao Chen said, "If I resign from all my positions now, go home to farm and retire, and never ask about the court again, do you think the emperor will approve it?" Even if the emperor takes back the three counties and allows me to pay tribute, do you think I can still live? ”

"Huh? You Boss Xiao, you really make sense when you say that. Li Hong was stunned.

"Such a simple truth, the big guy has a mirror in his heart, but he still has to say that I rebelled, and instigated the emperor to send troops to fight my Yanyun County, fortunately, there were no casualties in the conflict, otherwise, the emperor and I would not end well! They all only stared at me, but they couldn't keep an eye on Duan Fengnian, hehehe! Xiao Chen smiled sadly.

"Alas...... Since ancient times, it is really difficult to distinguish between loyal and traitors. Li Hong sighed.

"Give the king a method to solve the fox suspicion, no need to drill the turtle and wish the yarrow, the jade test should be burned for three days, the identification of materials must wait for seven years, the Zhou Gong is afraid of the rumors, Wang Mang is humble and not usurped, Xiang Xiang died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life?" Xiao Chenkou occupies a poem of seven words, solving Li Hong's doubts and defending himself.
