Li Er stood up and left, and everyone followed and respectfully escorted him out of the gate. Qin Huaidao saw the look Li Er cast towards him and followed him knowingly, while the others stopped in unison.
The two walked some distance and stopped. There was no one around. Li Er looked at the night ahead without saying a word, his expression cold and silent.
Qin Huaidao knew that the other party had something to say, so he remained silent and waited patiently.
In a psychological game, the first one to speak loses.
A suppressed aura suddenly erupted, and everyone around realized that something was going to happen. They all lowered their heads and went back to drink at Fang Xuanling's signal, pretending not to see it.
After a moment, Li Er suddenly turned around, and the pressure of a superior erupted, covering Qin Huaidao. His sharp eyes showed a see-through momentum, and he asked in a cold voice: "You just sang 'Just ask for my way'"
, what is your way?”
Qin Huaidao saw that the other party asked so directly, but it was okay to sing a song just now. He calmly faced Li Er's sharp gaze, his eyes were clear, firm, unflinching, and twinkling.
A moral and loyal heart will flourish!
The next moment, Qin Huaidao said slowly but firmly: "I have a dream, so that all people in the world will have their own land, everyone will have their own house, the old will have their support, and the young will have their education."
"It's such a big dream. If I don't rebel and become a superior, I can't realize it, right?" Li Er asked bluntly, staring at Qin Huaidao with a pair of sharp and cold eyes, unblinking, the superior's momentum became even stronger.
"laugh--"
Qin Huaidao sneered unceremoniously. Since Li Er stopped pretending and made things clear, he was too lazy to make excuses. He pointed at Qinjiazhuang and continued: "Mencius said: If you are poor, you can benefit yourself alone; if you are rich, you can benefit the world. I regard you as a model.
And it has been doing it. Your Majesty, you might as well take a look at this Qinjiazhuang. It has only been more than a year. Now everyone has a brick house to live in, and every household has meat to eat. A year ago, people here did not have enough to eat. "
Li Er fell silent after talking for a while.
In the face of hard facts, Li Er could not pretend to be asleep.
Qin Huaidao continued: "Your Majesty, I have to say something disrespectful. In your eyes, the throne is very important. In my eyes, it is just a burden. I review endless memorials every day, worry about endless things, and balance the forces of all parties.
I sleep earlier than a chicken, I sleep later than a dog, I am so tired from living. Look at me now, I have no shortage of fame, beauty, and wealth. I can do whatever I want, get up whenever I want, and wherever I want.
You can go anywhere, you don’t need to worry about etiquette like the Holy One, you can be carefree and unrestrained, gods are just like that, why do you have to sit in your position and work hard every day?"
These words were disrespectful, but they also opened my heart and expressed my true feelings.
Li Er was not angry, and he could see that Qin Huaidao's words came from the heart, without any pretense or deception. If he chewed it carefully, it was exactly as Qin Huaidao said. When it comes to reputation, who in the world can't recognize it? When it comes to power, although there is not even one person.
It's more than 10,000 people, but it's not bad. In terms of finances, a barbecue bar can make a lot of money every day, plus department stores, workshops, and caravans, I'm afraid it's even more than myself.
When it comes to life, Qin Huaidao can get up when he wants, sleep when he wants, and do whatever he wants, such as delicious food, beauties, and beautiful songs.
No, I am busy with endless things every day, from morning to night, and my body is seriously overdrawn. It is simply a kind of torture.
Comparing the two, one is carefree and at ease, while the other is exhausted.
What's even more disgusting is that the great achievements he made in opening up new territories in the past two years were all brought about by Qin Huaidao. In the future, history will only record that he was ordered to conquer and conquer with all his strength. It is because he has benefited from Qin Huaidao's glory.
Suddenly, Li Er felt that what the sage did was boring.
Recalling Qin Huaidao's past lazy temper and non-fighting behavior, the next moment, Li Er's expression softened a lot, and he said bluntly: "I guess I am really exhausted from the work, but I was wrong."
A misunderstanding is a disguised apology.
But Qin Huaidao knew Li Er's character and apologized, and he would do the same in the future. He would never show mercy in the face of the transition of imperial power and Jiang Shan Yonggu. He was always an obstacle and would definitely be removed.
After thinking about it, Qin Huaidao said no more, as long as he didn't take action now, who could tell what would happen in a few years?
Li Er pondered for a moment, then continued to test: "There is a sudden movement in the Turks in the west. I plan to bring up the reinforcement of the border wall again. What do you think?"
This matter requires Qin Huaidao's cement. Qin Huaidao is unwilling to do it. Li Er has no choice but to break up, so he can only take the opportunity to ask and see Qin Huaidao's attitude at the same time.
Qin Huaidao was too lazy to take care of other matters, but it was related to national defense and the safety of the people. Qin Huaidao did not refuse and said bluntly: "This matter is very necessary. What do you need me to do?"
Li Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was willing to take action. If he refused, the border would be unstable and the court would be in trouble. He thought about it and said: "This matter should be done as soon as possible. I will ask the Ministry of War to contact you about the specific matters tomorrow. As for the cost, the court will be in trouble."
, I hope you will understand, of course, I can’t let you suffer, just make less.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Some money should be earned, and some money should not be earned. The border and city walls are related to the safety of the imperial court and the life and death of the people. This kind of money cannot be earned, so just protect the capital. But I want to ask for one thing. I want to open up the Longyou Road trade route, and I sincerely ask Your Majesty for your permission.
"Qin Huaidao made conditions.
There are many border cities and towns in Longyou Road, which are sensitive areas and involve the interests of many people. It is difficult to do business without an imperial edict.
"This is not difficult. I will decree tomorrow that all the gates on Longyou Road will not be blocked." Li Er agreed. For others, this is difficult, but for Li Er, it only takes one sentence.
He turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence: "Treat Princess Wencheng well, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."
After seeing off Li Er, Qin Huaidao did not go back immediately. He stared at the carriage going further and thought to himself, Li Er was no longer testing, but beating. If he answered wrongly, something might happen tonight.
Although he passed the test safely, it was only temporary. Even if Li Er believed that he would not rebel, he would not leave himself as a hidden danger to threaten his successor in the future.
"My nephew, are you okay?" Li Jing asked with concern from behind.
"It's okay for now." Qin Huaidao made a pun.
Li Jing nodded and did not ask more about what had just happened. He looked at the leaving convoy and whispered: "Since the last injury and the prince's rebellion, the emperor's temperament has become worse than before and his suspicions have increased. I heard that the palace has begun to secretly search for Luo Alchemist.
The elixir of life.”
Qin Huaidao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that in history, when Wang Xuance defeated the kingdoms of Tianzhu, he brought back to Li Er an alchemist named Na Luo You Suo Po Mei. This man claimed to have lived for more than two hundred years, so Li Er asked the alchemist to make alchemy for him.
I don’t know if the elixir is true or false after how long it took for me to die from taking it.
It would be good if 30% of history books are true.
However, it is recorded in history that Li Er died in the 23rd year of Zhenguan. It is now the 15th year of Zhenguan. It is still a few years away. It will not be earlier, right? Tianzhu is currently being attacked by the Tibetan army. I am afraid that Wang Xuance, a diplomatic expert, will not go to Tianzhu.
There is no chance to bring the Tianzhu alchemist back.
Li Er saw that Qin Huaidao was deep in thought and silent, with a strange look on his face, and explained: "There is another possibility, that is, in the name of looking for the elixir of immortality, you are secretly looking for the pre-Qin warlock cave you happened to meet, or other pre-Qin warlock caves. Your Majesty is right.
You have a skill that I have been coveting for a long time."
When Qin Huaidao heard that it was indeed possible, he immediately laughed. There was no pre-Qin warlock. It was just an excuse for his ability: "Let's go back and have a drink. Everyone is impatient."
The two of them entered the courtyard together.
Everyone looked over, but the matter was too sensitive, and no one asked. Qin Huaidao didn't want to explain, but he was worried that everyone would think too much, especially Cheng Chumo, who was helping him run the caravan, and other younger generations. He pretended to be happy and said: "The Holy Master pulled me."
We chatted for a while about the reinforcement of the border city. We are late, so let’s continue drinking.”
The reinforcement of the border city had been decided for a long time, but it had been delayed due to various reasons. When everyone heard about it, they didn't think much about it, and the atmosphere became cheerful again.
They drank until late at night and then dispersed.
According to custom, people who are close to each other will make a fuss in the bridal chamber. In the eyes of the open and enthusiastic Tang people, the more lively the bridal chamber is, the better, and the more prosperous the future life of the bride and groom will be.
Qin Huaidao didn't like this part, so he pulled out the band of musicians from Fuzhong to join in the fun, put on a song and dance performance, and asked everyone to continue drinking. There was no shortage of wine anyway. He took Jia Youcai aside and explained the matter of repairing the border and closing the city. Such trivial matters were no longer necessary.
I would go out and keep an eye on it myself. I only need to send some people from Qinjiazhuang to bring cement and recruit a group of helpers on the spot to solve the problem.
A cement road, several bridges, and everyone learned a lot of skills.
After explaining the matter, he left the finishing of the banquet to Jia Youcai and headed towards the bridal chamber.
