Outside the northern capital, there was only one person who came to see Qin Zhenghao, Liu Bingyun.

Qin Zhenghao sighed with some emotion: "Zhenghe, you are by Your Majesty's side at the end of the day, and you have a high prestige in the court and the army, which is a good thing, but it is not so easy to do things, and it is more likely to become a bad thing." The north-south centrifugation is the result of hundreds of years of slow formation, and it is not transferred by human will. As a representative of the northerners, you can neither be too good to the northerners nor condone the southerners, this proportion is very difficult to grasp, and in the end it is likely that you are not a person inside and outside, you have to be careful. Your Majesty trusts you again, but everyone has accumulated gold and ruined bones, alas! ”

"Your Majesty knows about this, and wants me to think of a way to settle the dispute between the North and the South. Why should I be the examiner for the upcoming imperial examination? His Majesty said that it should be divided into two lists, north and south, and the scholars should be treated differently, such as the difficulty and the number of admissions, etc. ”

Qin Zhenghao was shocked: "You must not be the chief examiner, at most you should be a deputy, otherwise it will inevitably cause a big incident, you must report to Your Majesty immediately, do not delay, I will also write a letter to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's idea is absolutely right, but you must not be in a hurry, it takes at least ten years to be accepted, whether it is a northerner or a southerner." ”

When Liu Bingyun heard that Qin Zhenghao was so nervous, he also felt that there was a problem: "Okay, I'll listen to Qin Gong." Gong Qin, why are you leaving now? If you leave, the Military Aircraft Department is the former political hall, and I am a northerner, and if I am favored by His Majesty, it will be difficult to speak alone! Even if you don't go, Lin Jian'an won't be able to make big waves, and it will be a matter of time before he falls! ”

"You still don't quite understand Your Majesty's ambition and urgency, although I haven't told Your Majesty yet, but I can tell you first, and I will suggest to Your Majesty when the time is right. The Guanzhong Hetao is very important to the strategy of Mobei, there are two shortcuts to enter Mobei, one is to go north along the Juyan Sea, pass through the junction of the Altai Mountains and the western end of the desert, and the other is to go north from the Hunshandak Sandy Land at the eastern end of the desert. These two places are the richest places on the Monti Plateau, outflanking Hala and Lin from east to west. When I went to Guanzhong, I just wanted to do a good job in the operation and logistical support of the Hetao, and no one was more familiar with and sure than me, and I could shorten the time a lot, which was much more difficult than in the east. ”

Liu Bingyun knew that Qin Zhenghao specifically told him that he was continuing to accumulate political capital for him, and he felt even more uncomfortable: "I'm afraid that Duke Qin still has the mind to solve the problem of Lin Jian'an for His Majesty!" Gong Qin, you are like this, what will you do in a hundred years! No matter how wise and powerful Your Majesty is, it is impossible for him to live forever. ”

Qin Zhenghao smiled: "Zhenghe, I'm not hypocritical, I'm not young, how many years can I be loyal to Your Majesty?" I have fulfilled my greatest wishes and ambitions, and I have no regrets in this life. The so-called soldier dies for his confidant, I must seize every opportunity to repay Your Majesty, as for the afterlife, no matter how it is, it is much better than I once expected, and I am already very satisfied. Zhenghe, you should do the same in the future, don't think too much about those things, it is not necessary, but it will affect decision-making. Haoran is righteous and keeps the world, and the heart of the dan is shining on the sun and the moon, you and I will encourage you! ”

Liu Bingyun was about to say something more, but saw Qin Zhenghao turn his head to look away, an eight-lift sedan chair had already come, this is the special honor guard of Lord Shoufu, An Guogong, and Wang Gui, a scholar of Wenhuadian University.

Wang Gui actually came to see him off, Qin Zhenghao didn't expect it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Liu Xiang did not avoid suspicion and came to send the Governor, he is worthy of being a person who is open-minded and open-minded, but the Military Aircraft Department is busy with affairs, and the old man also came to send the Governor, and I hope that Liu Xiang will go back sooner, so as not to leave no one in the center to preside."

Liu Bingyun knew that Wang Gui had something to say to Qin Zhenghao alone, so he gave Qin Zhenghao a deep look: "Take care of Duke Qin, I will still be outside the city to welcome Duke Qin back with honors in the coming day." ”

Qin Zhenghao smiled and patted Liu Bingyun's shoulder.

Qin Zhenghao knew that Wang Gui's previous words meant something else, and he was not going to be too polite next, so he just took this opportunity to say something to Wang Gui.

"The old man is deeply impressed by the Governor's invitation to go out, so he has come to see you off. As an auxiliary minister, there are some things that are responsible, and I have to say, I hope that the governor will not be surprised! ”

Qin Zhenghao smiled: "Lord Shoufu, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"Guanzhong is the core area in the northwest of the empire, and it is the foundation of the country, and the Hetao area is a rich land that has been repeatedly fought for by Han and Hu for thousands of years, coupled with Lin Jian'an's former foundation in the Hanfu Plain, the governor of Guanxi has great power and greater responsibility, and it can also be seen that His Majesty's trust in the Lord, and I hope that the Duke of Qin will not live up to His Majesty's trust. The old man knew that Qin Gong could solve the Guanzhong Hetao alone under very difficult circumstances, and he had outstanding ability, many hearts and henchmen, and strong strength. Don't blame the old man for talking too much, but whenever there is a major event, the Duke of Qin still has to report to His Majesty and the Central Committee for instructions, officials above the fifth grade cannot be appointed and dismissed by themselves, and they cannot interfere in the Governor's Mansion of the Western Army at will, especially for Lin Jian'an's military action, the old man is also for the good of the Duke of Qin! ”

Feelings, you still treat me Qin Zhenghao as a capricious villain! I also want to say that everything is in the hands of your Wang Gui Dagong and expected, no matter how generous Qin Zhenghao is, he is also angry in his heart.

"Thank you, Lord Shousuke, for your kindness! The boss is worthy of being a veteran of the Four Dynasties and has rich experience in politics. However, today's empire is very different from the Ning Dynasty, and it is not an era when the official eunuch gentry group overthrew the imperial power and became the dominant family. Everything is under Your Majesty's control, the boss is too worried, I, Qin Zhenghao, know what rules to abide by, and I will report to Your Majesty in time, the boss doesn't have to worry about Your Majesty's heart. ”

A sentence of the old man, a sentence of the elders of the four dynasties, every sentence is ironic, you are going to isolate yourself from the imperial literati class! I came to ease the relationship with good intentions and gave you a chance to take a step, but now it's good, but when I said that I didn't come, Wang Gui was furious in his heart, but they were all old foxes, and they were about to say something ruthless, but Qin Zhenghao came even more ruthlessly.

"I also have a few words for the old man. To this day, I Qin Zhenghao don't need to hide it, Your Majesty attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and I have to give the boss, Bo Yugong, and Liu Jingye the title of duke, and the lower officials are clearly opposed to the civil knighthood, even if they want to be crowned, they will either die or retire completely, and don't force Your Majesty to do what he doesn't want to do in the future. The lower officials don't doubt the loyalty of the boss and the enthusiasm for doing things, but today's empire won't turn around without the boss? Bo Yugong and Jing Ye have long been careless, and they are bent on teasing Sun, and the lower officials don't say much, the boss understands. I don't know if there will be a goodbye day, take care, my lord, and say goodbye! ”

Qin Zhenghao took three steps back, and after a long pause, he turned his head and left.

Has Wang Gui thought about this? He thought about it, but he didn't want to think about it. Qin Zhenghao's words were directly broken, Wang Gui couldn't avoid it, he knew that this was definitely not what His Majesty meant, but it was also a fact, looking at the back of Qin Zhenghao and his party in the distance, he couldn't help but feel the desolation of the hero's twilight.
