"It's all you, it's all you! My uncle and sister-in-law are here to visit. How can we go out to meet guests like this!"
"What's the point? No one saw what you did, so why do you feel so guilty!"
"Who feels guilty?"
"Huh? Don't you like it?"
In the midst of the two people bickering quietly, Qin Wanying had already entered the room and heard the last sentence, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"What do you like? Show it to my sister."
"ah……!"
Murphy couldn't help but blushed and exclaimed when he heard Qin Wanying's words.
The way Qin Wanying looked at Murphy, she had a rough idea of what the two men were talking about. She secretly blamed herself for talking to Meng Liang, and for a moment her face turned red and she yelled at her brother with hatred in her eyes.
"Leave the room!"
Qin Wenyuan seemed to be fleeing and left the room, but he saw Chai Shaowu sitting in the hall, looking at him with some fun, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
"Brother-in-law is here!"
Unexpectedly, Chai Shaowu looked at Qin Wenyuan and said something confused.
"You know how to play, brother-in-law, I admire you, I admire you!"
Qin Wenyuan didn't know how to answer his brother-in-law's words. He couldn't help but secretly think, could this guy be able to see from himself what he had just played with Fei'er? Impossible!
Qin Wenyuan misunderstood what Chai Shaowu meant. It turned out that Chai Shaowu was talking about what he had done in Dengzhou and Yunzhou these days.
"Xiaotian, tell my brother-in-law about how you have led the army to fight in various places these days. My brother-in-law also wants to go to the battlefield like you, leaping on horseback and crossing swords."
"Ah! This is what my brother-in-law asked about. We thought..."
"What do you think? Is it possible that you are hiding something from me and your sister?"
"No, no, absolutely not!"
"Hmph! You little naughty boy thinks that I don't know what you have been doing these days. Please tell me who my nephew and niece look like."
Qin Wanying held Murphy's hand and came out of the inner room, talking happily as she walked.
"Hey! Of course he is as handsome as your brother, who is loved by everyone and is always in bloom..."
"Bah! Shameless, I obviously look like Sister Yue'er, but I want to say that I look like you."
Before Qin Wenyuan finished speaking, Murphy next to him spoke eagerly. This girl always likes to argue with Qin Wenyuan. If she doesn't attack, it seems that Qin Wenyuan will be given an advantage.
Looking at the pair of enemies, Qin Wanying was speechless. The siblings waited for a while and then sat down to talk about business. Qin Wenyuan summoned Qin Shijun to first tell his sister about the expansion of the garment factory in Chang'an City. His brother-in-law explained that he hoped that he would spend more energy in the future.
In this regard, after all, this is a big industry.
Chai Shaowu has made a lot of money in the garment shop over the years. He knew what Qin Shijun said. He knew that Qin Wenyuan acted like this to take care of his sister. He admired this brother-in-law for taking family ties so seriously.
After Qin Shijun resigned, Qin Wenyuan briefly mentioned to his sister the construction of a military port and warships in Dengzhou. At the same time, he also told his sister about his plans to manage the land in Liaodong and his plans to come to Chang'an this time.
After hearing what the emperor mentioned, Qin Wanying's heart boiled with excitement when she heard that her brother was so ambitious. She wished she could go with her brother this time, but when she thought that she was pregnant and should not travel far, she scolded Chai Shaowu sweetly.
.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"
What kind of monsters are these? Why do they always just say "It's all your fault, it's all your..." without any other new ideas?
[By the way, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, change the source app, .huanyuanapp install the latest version. 】
Qin Wenyuan didn't know the reason and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Chai Shaowu let his wife talk, smiling and saying nothing.
The siblings talked a lot when they got together. Qin Wenyuan told his sister and brother-in-law to live a good life in Chang'an City. If they encounter any major problems that cannot be solved, besides talking to the eldest princess and Duke Qiao, they can go find Chen Laosan.
Let him convey the message to himself.
Qin Wenyuan knew from the memory of his previous life that Chai Shaowu would eventually become an official in the court, and would eventually go to the distant border area of Anxi to rule the Anxi Protectorate. He did not want his brother-in-law to be too far away from his sister. He would rather his brother-in-law be a rich man to accompany him.
Even though his sister doesn't want him to serve in a dangerous place, if he wants to be an official in the Qin family's territory, is he afraid that he won't have the chance to become an official?
The sky has not yet fully revealed its bright colors, and in the dim light there are already voices of people in front of the palace, the sound of carriages and horses, all the civil and military ministers, and the royal family members are all heading towards the Tai Chi Palace with sleepiness still on their faces.
The main hall was marching slowly, and in the corridor leading to the Taiji Palace in the imperial city, the lanterns burning in the cold wind swayed and emitted a dim light, which increasingly aroused the sleepiness in the hearts of many ministers.
Qin Wenyuan yawned and followed the procession of ministers entering the palace. Suddenly, he was slapped on the shoulder by a thick and powerful palm. When he turned around, he saw Cheng Yaojin looking at him with a smile.
Qin Wenyuan hurriedly bowed his hands and said.
"Uncle Cheng is well. I just arrived in Chang'an City yesterday and haven't gone to the mansion to see my uncle yet. I hope my uncle will forgive me."
"How long did it take for you to learn from this mother-in-law? How can you master so much care?"
The two of them were talking and walking towards the main hall. At this time, Yu Wenshiji came up and greeted Cheng Yaojin and Xu Tian with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Sir Cheng, I want to say a few words to little friend Qin Wenyuan, do you think it's okay?"
Hearing what Yu Wenshiji said, Cheng Yaojin patted Qin Wenyuan on the shoulder and left with a smile. After Cheng Yaojin left, Yu Wenshiji took out a silver note from his sleeve and said to Qin Wenyuan.
"Brother Qin, I am willing to admit defeat. This is one million taels of silver. I hope our two families can turn their conflicts into friendship in the future?"
Looking at Yu Wenshi and his slightly old face, Qin Wenyuan said with a smile.
"Sir Yuwen, you're too polite. In fact, I don't want to be an enemy of the ministers of the DPRK. There are some things that I have to do. I hope that Master Yuwen will forgive me. Let's take the silver back. The power should be treated as a dispute between the boy and the master.
joke."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that Yu Wenshi has always been soft-hearted, Qin Wenyuan is a master of accepting soft things rather than hard words. In addition, he heard that the emperor wanted to make the bet himself and not mention it again.
At this time, he naturally did not want to accept any more money from Yu Wenshi.
Yu Wenshiji did not expect that Qin Wenyuan would be so easy to talk to and know how to give up when he is satisfied. He was somewhat admired and grateful for his son's magnanimity and generosity. When he thought about it, he felt that his son was not even a little bit worse than other families.
After sighing secretly in his heart, he bowed to Qin Wenyuan and left alone.
In the distance, Qin Shiji saw his nephew talking to Yu Wenshi and he guessed it was about the bet. He couldn't help but feel relieved to see Yu Wenshi and salute his nephew. He knew that his nephew had finally reconciled with the Yuwen family.
Hatred, this is more beneficial than getting a million taels of silver.
Qin Shiji quickly approached Xu Tian. After the uncle and nephew met, they naturally had another conversation. They talked about the scene where Yu Wenshi and Xu Tian had just met. Qin Shiji's unique insights made Qin Wenyuan feel that they made sense.
"Xiaotian, that Yu Wenshiji is already a veteran of three dynasties. He has a proud mind and his own set of views on things. He can put down his identity and reconcile with you because he has seen something and untied the knot in his heart. At the same time, he has already
I am afraid that my family will be exposed to unknown dangers in the future. This person has been an official for a long time, and when he gets old, he wants to protect his own future. If he is not fully sure of people and things, he will not easily risk his wealth and life.
Risky."
"Uncle, actually Master Yuwen doesn't have to be like this at all. As long as he doesn't use some tricks against the boy behind his back, we won't do anything to him. Today he figured out that it wasn't the boy who wanted to be his enemy and proposed reconciliation. It means that he can still distinguish correctly in his heart.
Right and wrong, grudges."
Xu Shiji smiled and said nothing after hearing Qin Wenyuan's remarks. He felt that his nephew seemed to be more mature than before, and his understanding of things was no longer the simple way of just going back and forth and talking based on strength.
The two uncles and nephews were talking and walking, and soon arrived at the Tai Chi Hall. At this time, the hall was crowded with civil and military ministers, each looking for a place according to their rank, standing in awe and waiting for the emperor's arrival.
Qin Wenyuan stood at the back of the line of generals, still looking for a thick pillar in the palace as usual, leaning against a thick pillar with his eyes slightly closed. His indifferent appearance gave people an image of being lazy and indifferent, as if he just watched
Like people just joining in the fun, the civil servants in the Zhijiao Hall who regarded the court meeting as extremely sacred felt unhappy and whispered to each other in low voices.
"This boy is an ignorant and incompetent person. He received the honor of participating in the court meeting but didn't know how to cherish it. He is a traitor and cannot be taught!"
While all the ministers were thinking about their own thoughts in the main hall, talking softly in twos and threes, a voice suddenly shouted loudly.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Following the sound, Li Shimin was full of energy and strode straight to the dragon couch in the Jinluan Palace. Behind him, Li Chengqian came to his seat with a smile. He waited until Li Shimin sat down and followed the crowd's shouts of long live the throne before he sat down.
A little while after Li Shimin sat down, he announced that the Turkic Jili Khan would come to the palace. After receiving a loud shout from the door of the palace where the decree was announced, Jili Khan came to the palace tremblingly in the costumes of a Turkic noble and his former civil servants and generals.
Kneeling under the golden sword, I heard Jieli Khan's trembling voice.
"The Turkic sinner Jieli paid homage to the emperor. The little king ignored his ability and repeatedly resisted the Tang Dynasty's heavenly troops, causing both the Tang people and the Turkic people to suffer from the war. The little king knew that he had sinned deeply and begged the emperor to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and lead the Turkic subjects to submit.
For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, forgive Jie Li's crime."
"Jie Li, it's not that you are willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but that your tribe is no longer able to compete with the Tang Dynasty's army and you have to do it. I think the Turks have invaded the borders of the Tang Dynasty many times in recent years, which has caused great harm to the Tang Dynasty.
It’s hard to describe how much damage and loss the army and civilians have caused, and it’s impossible for me to explain it clearly today. Now that you have surrendered and become a vassal, in order to show the magnanimity of our Tang Dynasty, I will not care about the past grudges with you anymore and spare your life from now on.
Spend the rest of your life in Chang'an City!"
After Li Shimin said this sternly to Jie Li, his face softened slightly and he spoke softly to the eunuch who was close to him.
"Declare the decree!"
When Eunuch Liu heard the emperor's order, he shouted loudly at Jinluan.
"Jieli and the Turkic generals will listen to the order!"
Xu Tian and other ministers in the palace heard the eunuch's loud reading and later learned that the imperial edict had granted Jieli the title of King of Peiping and granted him a residence in Chang'an City.
And Qi Bi He Li was granted official positions above the third rank.
When Jieli and other Turkic generals heard the imperial decree, they all knelt down to thank him, and immediately resigned and left the hall to settle down in their mansions.
Since then, the historically arrogant Eastern Turks have left the stage of history, which has curbed the Turks' harassment of the Tang Dynasty. The victory of the Tang Dynasty in this battle has a great deterrent effect on other ethnic minority regimes around the Turks, ensuring the protection of the Tang Dynasty.
As a result, the economy and politics of the country have developed smoothly to varying degrees, creating a stable environment for the later prosperous times, and also laying a solid foundation for the future annihilation of the Western Turks.
After Jieli Khan and the Turks left the main hall, the ministers in the main hall were filled with sadness when they saw the destruction of a royal power and had a premonition that a nation would begin to decline. They all whispered to each other about the matter, some sighed, and some
There was joy, there was silence, and at the same time there was also the aristocratic family who started to have unknown ideas, with greedy eyes in their eyes...
Li Shimin sat on the dragon couch and had a panoramic view of the performance of the ministers in the palace. He had control over people's hearts. How could the emperor not know the complicated thoughts in the minds of these ministers at this time? To the emperor, it was a good thing for the ministers to have ideas. He would act on these
The different thoughts in people's hearts can be used to exert the emperor's technique to exert strong control over ministers.
After a little noise in the main hall, Li Shimin hummed softly and waited until the hall was quiet before speaking.
"Li Jing, the director of the march in Dingxiang Road, made great contributions in the war against the Eastern Turks. However, he led his troops to use troops secretly against my will several times. He ignored the safety of the ministers sent by the imperial court to negotiate peace with the Turks and took advantage of this situation to carry out dangerous attacks.
The Turkic camp later sent troops to plunder the Turkic wealth, resulting in the loss of a large number of Turkic treasures. I think the merit is merit and the fault is fault. Li Jing, do you have anything to say to explain what you have done?"
When all the ministers in the palace suddenly heard the emperor's words, they were a little confused. They originally thought that the theme of today's court meeting was to reward the soldiers who fought in the East Turkic War. However, unexpectedly, the style of painting suddenly changed to the emperor's accountability to Li Jing.
After Li Jing heard the emperor's words, this famous general in the Tang Dynasty who had experienced countless wars, he thought for a moment and realized that the emperor was just making some mistakes to reduce his achievements because his achievements this time were too great. For an emperor like the royal family.
The Art of Balance Li Jing didn't want to say anything more, he just needed to keep in mind the dangers of "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger".
Li Jing was originally full of excitement, but all of it disappeared as soon as he thought about it. His heart felt as cold as falling from the warmth of March to an ice cellar. He no longer had any desire to refute, so he left work and said to the emperor in fear.
"The humble minister has nothing to say. Li Jing knows his crime and asks the emperor to punish him!"
Seeing Li Jing acting like this, Li Shimin knew what Li Jing said, and he must have disdained the royal family for using such methods to treat meritorious ministers. He just had a big nose and suppressed his mouth, so he didn't dare to say anything.
We dare not blame Li Shimin too much for such a minister who is good at fighting. Otherwise, if there is another war, where will the court find such generals who are good at leading armies in battle?
