Chapter 267 The Eunuch Chou gave the city silver, Emperor Zhaowu listened to the Sutra of Longevity

Chapter 267: Eunuch Qiu gave Jiancheng Silver to Emperor Zhaowu to listen to the scriptures of immortality

Empress Dowager Wenzhuang said angrily: "How can you say that to Mr. Le?"

Qin Lei smiled and explained Le Buyi's signature, criticized his fate, and told fortune-telling matters, and scratched his head and said, "Mr. Le is indeed a talented person, but he always likes to put a very reasonable thing on a layer of shrine coat." He touched his chin and concluded Le Buyi: "How to say it? This person is a little lazy, and his grandson is always afraid that he will give up one day."

Empress Dowager Wenzhuang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, although Mr. Le is unruly, he is kind-hearted and compassionate. Since he came to the door on his own initiative and said he wanted to go to your place to see him, he must have wanted to do something. If he really gave up one day, you will disappoint him."

Qin Lei curled his lips and said, "Why does Le Buyi feel more awesome than his grandson?" He said, "It's like opening a shop. There is a job that is not afraid of the boss's fire. The boss has to coax him backwards. It's really not a good deal."

Wenzhuang's face gradually became solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "Child, grandma gives you a sentence: 'Demeanor determines the pattern.' The bigger the thing you do, you must have the bigger mind. A small amount of energy is not going to be able to do things." After a pause, the old lady continued: If you want to be at home and everything goes well, you must have the energy to accommodate conflicts; if you want to swallow the world, you must have the energy to accommodate heaven and earth."

Qin Lei bowed to the teachings and listened to Empress Dowager Wenzhuang continued: "For those who are superior, they must have both obedient and obedient loyal dogs and smart cunning foxes; they must have both cruel and blood-killing evil wolfs and tigers that swept through thousands of troops. You cannot dislike the violence of the wolf because you like the gentleness of the dog, nor can you dislike the cunning of the fox because you appreciate the might of the tiger."

Qin Lei frowned and nodded and said, "Use his strengths and forgive his weaknesses, the child has received teachings."

Empress Dowager Wenzhuang laughed and said, "Yes, Young Master Xiaobai forgives Guan Zhong who assassinated him, so that Duke Huan of Qi, the leader of the Five Hegemons; Emperor Taizong of Tang tolerate Wei Zheng, who made the right name for a generation of Tian Khan. If his grandson wants to do something, he must study like them."

Qin Lei listened to the old empress dowager using Duke Huan of Qi and Emperor Taizong of Tang as examples to encourage him. He was slightly happy and said more respectfully: "Kids keep in mind the teachings of their grandmother and will always remind themselves not to use people based on their preferences, and not to use people based on their closeness and distantness. Only talent is to be promoted, and only talent is to be promoted."

Wenzhuang nodded and said, "Good."

After a moment of heart movement, Qin Lei asked Youyouyou: "I wonder which of Mr. Le is a tiger, wolf, fox and dog?"

Empress Dowager Wenzhuang's expression remained unchanged and she whispered: "Eagle!"

"Eagle?" Qin Lei repeated softly.

"Yes, it's an eagle. It soars above the nine heavens, has a far-sighted vision, and passes through the sky and the earth; its speed is like lightning, its fierceness is like thunder. Its wisdom and strategy are unparalleled in the world, and its strategy is unique."

Qin Lei was not surprised by the evaluation of Empress Dowager Wenzhuang. From that imperial edict, he could clearly feel his great admiration for Le Xianggu. But he was concerned about another question: "How should it be used?"

"If you use it for me, respect it; if you want to leave, keep it; if you betray me, kill it." The old empress dowager's smile was still kind and kind, but she could not stop the cold air in her words.

Qin Lei nodded and accepted the advice of Empress Dowager Wenzhuang. He was still too young when it came to the point of being able to deal with some powerful people.

After the grandparents and grandchildren were silent for a while, Qin Lei remembered and asked, "Grandma calls her grandson over, what's the special thing?"

Wenzhuang smiled and said, "It's nothing big, but if you want to see Your Majesty first, it will be a big deal."

Qin Lei said, "What do you mean is that you will be fine if you see you first and then go to see Your Majesty?"

Wenzhuang nodded and said, "Yes, when you meet your father, put what you want to report on the old woman, and let the old woman follow the scenery."

Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "You talk about the construction of the city in Jingshan?"

Wenzhuang nodded and smiled, "Mr. Le told me about that city. Do you think a Majesty can tolerate being strangled by others?"

Qin Lei whispered: "This kid has thought about it too, but now it is a battle between military power and monarchy. I think my father can tolerate it."

Wen Zhuang laughed and said, "Your child has a very vicious vision. Yes, your father will tolerate it." He said lightly, "But he will inevitably feel a grudge, and you will be put into another book from now on."

Qin Lei nodded and said, "It's indeed a problem, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Especially for my royal family, it is a step-by-step victory and defeat, which is inevitable. The child hopes to convince his father."

Wen Zhuang smiled and said, "Go, remember, it was said that the old woman asked you to say it, so that you can have both."

Qin Lei nodded gratefully, said a few words of self-interest, and then left the Zen room.

When he came out again, he could no longer see Nian Yao's beautiful figure. Qin Lei felt a little regretful. Just as he was about to leave Cining Palace, he saw the old eunuch Qiu smiling at him at the corner of the hall.

Qin Lei walked over with a smile and said warmly: "How is Mr. Qiu lately?"

The old eunuch Qiu twitched his face and smiled bitterly, "It's not good." As he said that, he took out a small wooden box from his arms and handed it to Qin Lei with both hands, saying, "This is what the Queen Mother gave you," and smiled sadly, "I heard that you are going to do a big thing, and I have done my best to put it in it."

Qin Lei took it with a smile, tore off the cover of the box, opened it and saw that there were neat stacks of inner palace treasures, four fingers thick. At the top was a large bill of 10,000 taels of official silver.

He reached out and twisted the stack of treasure money, and Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's two million taels a huge amount?"

The old eunuch Qiu said with distress: "One and four hundred thousand taels of this are her savings for decades. In addition to the old slave's help, it is a huge amount of 2.27 million taels, which should be enough for the prince to use for a while."

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "I will take away my grandma's money. I'll keep the 870,000 taels of old Qiu for retirement."

The old eunuch Qiu smiled and said, "I'm half a person who has been buried in the soil, and I have no children. What's the use of asking for this money?" As he said that, he took out a piece of yellow silk cloth the size of a palm from his arms, rubbed it gently like he stroked the baby's face, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know what this is?"

Qin Lei saw a piece of gold-patterned dragon claw on the cloth head and asked softly: "Wang Qi?"

Eunuch Qiu shook his head and said, "It's the military flag." He said, "This is the military flag of the Qin family's soldiers. Seventeen years ago, the old empress dowager held this military flag and led us to guard Zhongdu, and turned hundreds of thousands of Qi and Chu coalition forces under the city."

Qin Lei whispered: "I guess Mr. Qiu was so good at that time?"

Eunuch Qiu raised his pure white eyebrows, and his voice was rarely high: "Although the old slave is responsible for protecting the empress dowager, he rushed to the city several times in a critical moment, holding a seven-foot sword, and chopped down dozens of enemy heads!" After a pause, he said with a sigh: "That is the most glorious and happiest day in my life." It is also the most man-like day, Eunuch Qiu said silently in his heart.

Qin Lei whispered: "What are the instructions for Mr. Qiu?"

Eunuch Qiu smiled and said, "I hope the prince can build Jingshan City into a strong city and become the foundation of our Qin family soldiers."

It seems that the matter of Jiancheng had been planned for a long time, Qin Lei thought to himself. He nodded and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely not let go of the entrusted entrusted by Lao Qiu." He pointed out another 500,000 taels from the box and smiled and said: "The money sent by the Lone King has no reason to take back."

The old eunuch Qiu thought to himself, this master was determined to buy me. After refusing for a while, he couldn't resist, so he accepted 200,000 taels and said with a smile: "These are endless to spend in the next life, and the rest are also waste paper. Let the prince do the business."

Qin Lei then put it away and bowed, "Thank you Lao Gaoyi." The old eunuch Qiu laughed and bowed, "I thank you Prince for giving this opportunity to realize your dream." The two of them said a few more things about Nian Yao, and Qin Lei said goodbye and left Cining Palace.

After leaving Cining Palace, Qin Lei went to Zichen Hall to the west according to the instructions of the old eunuch Qiu, saying that Emperor Zhaowu was listening to the Taoist priests' lectures there.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he arrived outside the Zichen Hall. Old Eunuch Zhuo quickly came up and said with a smile: "What wind has blown the fifth master?"

Qin Lei patted the old eunuch Zhuo's hand, and a thousand taels of treasure money was rewarded along the sleeve, then he smiled and said, "I'm here to pay my respects to my father. I haven't found it everywhere. I've found it all the way."

Old Eunuch Zhuo pointed inside and whispered: "Your Majesty is listening to the Taoist priests' lectures in the store."

Qin Lei smiled and said, "The father is busy with everything, so it's good to relax. Then wait here." Eunuch Zhuo smiled and welcomed Qin Lei to the side hall, and ordered someone to serve tea, and he would accompany him.

After the two of them talked a few gossips, Qin Lei asked curiously: "I wonder what scriptures my father can hear?"

This is no secret. Old Eunuch Zhuo said: "The Sutra of Eternal Life by the Heavenly Master of Nanhua Mountain talks about how to live forever and live forever. A while ago, Your Majesty also asked the inner palace to purchase medicinal materials, saying that the immortal master wanted to open the furnace and refine the immortal pill."

Qin Lei heard it and asked in a deep voice: "This is the first time I heard it."

Old Eunuch Zhuo recalled: "The Prince has introduced Nanhua Tianshi to the palace for more than three months, but His Majesty only saw him last month." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said: "This Tianshi is afraid that this Tianshi will have some knowledge. Although the time is still short, His Majesty's body has improved a lot recently, so he has become more and more obedient to him. Today, he went in at the hour of Mao." Old Eunuch Zhuo's surname is Zhuo, so he is naturally a little different to Qin Lei.

Qin Lei frowned and said, "It would be great if you learn some methods of health preservation and health. I am afraid that my father will be too fond of the alchemy." This is around the emperor, so be careful when speaking.

But it was enough for the old eunuch to understand what he meant. He shook his head slightly and said, "Apart from the Empress Dowager, she is not easy to persuade others. The Empress Dowager doesn't care about it. We are servants who can only worry."

Qin Lei knew that what he was talking about was the truth, and dissuading him was to prevent the emperor from pursuing immortality. No matter what the result was, the emperor would definitely be unhappy. Even if he did not suffer at that time, he would inevitably wear small shoes in the future. Only Empress Dowager Wenzhuang, the emperor's biological mother, said that he was fine.

Hearing that Wenzhuang didn't care, Qin Lei thought for a moment, he said softly, "Let me check the foundation of this Heavenly Master first." At this time, a melodious bell came from the main hall, but the emperor had finished listening to the scriptures. The two looked at each other and quickly got up and went out to wait.

Emperor Zhaowu came out and saw Qin Lei a little surprised and said strangely: "You are not staying in Jingshan, why are you running back?" Qin Lei smiled with a shy face and said: "I miss the emperor's grandmother and father, so I come back and take a look."

Emperor Zhaowu knew that he was joking and smiled and said, "You can talk." He pointed to the purple-robed Taoist priest next to him and introduced, "This is the Immortal Master Qingxuzi from Nanhua Mountain. You can hold your nephew."

With the advance reminder from the old eunuch Zhuo, Qin Lei was not surprised and bowed to the old Taoist priest who looked very handsome and looked very handsome, "Xiao Wang is polite."

The Taoist priest smiled slightly and returned to Qin Lei, saying, "Your Majesty, don't kill me." He seemed unwilling to have more contact with Qin Lei, so he sued the crime and went into the hall.

Seeing him leaving, Emperor Zhaowu pointed to the path in the courtyard and smiled and said, "Accompany me to walk." Qin Lei quickly supported Emperor Zhaowu's arm, bowed his body to lead him down the steps, then straightened up, followed him, and wandered along the winding path.

The father and son talked a few gossips, and Emperor Zhaowu asked Qin Lei again about the purpose of entering the capital. Qin Lei respectfully told the clan's disobedience. Emperor Zhaowu twisted his beard and said, "I happened to take this opportunity to clear out the soldiers of those worms." In this matter, the attitude he held on the Empress Dowager was completely opposite.

Qin Lei smiled and said, "What the father said is, but so many relatives are not easy to kill. If the child works hard again, if it still doesn't work, let them all get out."

Emperor Zhaowu drooped his eyelids and said lightly: "You are the chief clan and the commander of the clan soldiers. Do whatever you want. Just don't miss me a big deal." He was talking about the two military exercises in the autumn next year and the spring next year.

Qin Lei quickly said 'I dare not' and whispered: "I just came to pay my respects to my father, and was called to me by my grandmother to speak up. She was very interested in clan soldiers and asked me about the Jingshan Camp."

Seeing his good baby who asked for instructions in the morning and evening, the little bit of depression caused by the clan soldiers problem disappeared, and he smiled and said, "When the Empress Dowager was guarding Zhongdu, the older generation of clan soldiers had worked hard, and it was normal for the old man to be nostalgic."

Qin Lei nodded with a smile, and said in a hesitant tone: "But the Empress Dowager put forward different views on the reconstruction of the Jingshan Camp of Erchen."

Emperor Zhaowu looked at Qin Lei and asked slowly: "What do you think?"

Qin Lei scratched his head and smiled, "I just want to rebuild the camp, live in people, and train troops."

Emperor Zhaowu said without commenting, and asked again: "What do your grandmother thinks?"

Qin Lei gestured with both hands and said frowningly: "She wants her child to build a city there, but it is still very big, but it makes her child a little confused." The performance of the movie star who died of the card was completely lifelike and could not see the clues of artificiality.

Emperor Zhaowu did not answer immediately, and walked a distance before sighing: "Young people are always a little incomplete in thinking about problems, and the old people have to pick up the leftovers and fill in the gaps."

Qin Lei was happy and said in a more aggrieved tone: "In fact, it's good to build a city, so it's more comfortable to live there. But that's too much time. I'm afraid that the spring performance of the next year will not be built." Qin Lei only told the third and fourth brothers that even to those thousands of soldiers, he only said that they can attack and retreat and defend, but for the foundation of the whole world, and did not mention the matter of Jingshuihe. The third and fourth brothers were both heartbroken by Emperor Zhaowu, so he naturally did not worry that the words could be heard in Emperor Zhaowu's ears.

Emperor Zhaowu only knew that Qin Lei didn't know the mystery of Jingshuihe, and pretended to be angry and said, "Children are short-sighted and managing a country is an eternal career. What is a year or two?"

Qin Lei scratched his head and said, "What does Father mean?"

"Build!" Emperor Zhaowu stopped and said firmly: "And we must build it well! I will ask the officials of the Ministry of Works to conduct a good survey, mapping and design."

Qin Lei thought to himself, "Not the price, isn't it just a mess to let those two knives pass?" Thinking of this, he laughed and said, "The emperor's grandmother gave the drawings, saying that it was made by Guiguzi more than ten years ago."

When Emperor Zhaowu heard this, he said surprise: "It must be a fine product for Guigu, which is just enough to save trouble." He asked Qin Lei to give the drawings to the Ministry of Works to review. As long as it is made by Guiguzi, it will save some exploration and can start construction directly. In other words, Guiguzi has the highest engineering design qualifications and can be launched directly without argumentation and review.

Even if Emperor Zhaowu took over the project, although Qin Lei would have to think about it if he could not afford the money, the meaning of this kind of passive investment and active investment was very different. The former means that Qin Lei would share the worries and problems for the king, which was a act of loyalty to the king and patriotism; the latter had ulterior motives and ill-gotten plots. Can it be the same?

These two major events were completed and the result was basically satisfactory. Qin Lei took the opportunity to take the fourth brother to Jingshan to stay. Emperor Zhaowu naturally agreed to this act of loving brothers, especially his once disagreeable brothers, and praised Qin Lei very much.

Emperor Zhaowu left Qin Lei for food before sending him to see Concubine Jin. Concubine Jin was not in the palace, but found her at Concubine Ru and talked to each other with the two empresses. It was getting late. Qin Lei refused to leave the food, said goodbye to his mother, and left the inner palace.
