"Your Majesty, don't forget that I am still observing my filial piety!"
Gu Qiancheng said these words almost against Qin Jiyan's ear. The slightly warm breath rushed towards him and the tingling sensation at the base of his ears fascinated him, but...
As soon as the word "keep filial piety" came out, it was like a basin of cold water, instantly pouring Qin Jiyan's heart out.
"Qiancheng, you are too cruel to me." The expectation on Qin Jiyan's face instantly turned into annoyance. He put his arms around Gu Qiancheng's waist and rested his head on her shoulder.
Since you can't eat it, let's take advantage of it and satisfy your heart's desire.
"I'm also cruel to myself, aren't I?" Gu Qiancheng put his hand on the soft flesh of Qin Jiyan's waist, "Your Majesty, aren't you leaving yet?" He was going to do business, but he didn't forget to eat her tofu.
, this man is really...
She said yes. She missed that His Highness Qin who kissed her but ran away blushing.
"I'm telling you...you must have missed me too." Qin Jiyan rubbed his feet against Gu Qiancheng's shoulder. Due to the iron pliers placed on his waist, Qin Jiyan did not dare to go too far.
After two clicks, he let go, "Okay, I should go deal with Taiyuan's affairs."
Qin Jiyan didn't even pretend to be in front of Gu Qiancheng, and when he mentioned Taiyuan, he felt three times bored.
Yes, bored!
Even without checking, Qin Jiyan could guess who was behind today's incident.
Gu Qiancheng felt a little distressed when he saw Qin Jiyan's smile disappearing in an instant, "Don't think too much, things may not be what you think."
"He had colluded with Xihu in the early years. Who else could he be if he wasn't him?" Qin Jiyan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled sarcastically.
King Zhou, his good uncle, was exiled by the Supreme Emperor and saved the lives of his family, but he still refused to settle down and had to force him to take action.
He didn't want to point the blade at his relatives, but those people just bumped into him. Do they really think he is a merciful person?
"Until the matter is investigated clearly, everything is possible." Gu Qiancheng took the initiative to hug Qin Jiyan and said softly: "Even if it's him, don't be angry. Don't use other people's mistakes to punish yourself. It's not worth being angry for him."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Qin Jiyan patted Gu Qiancheng's shoulder, his voice a little lighter.
He is cold-hearted in nature, and there is no reason why Xinci cannot take action. If he really could not do anything, he would not arrange an assassination at the gate of the city, so as to bring King Zhao's lineage to the bottom!
"Go and get busy. I'll be waiting for you in the palace. I won't leave without saying goodbye this time." Gu Qiancheng let go of Qin Jiyan and sent him away with a smile...
"Yes." Qin Jiyan turned around and walked out, his steps calm and steady, without any hesitation or soft-heartedness. Because he knew that he was not alone. There was a woman waiting for him in this cold and impersonal palace.
For that woman, he couldn't hesitate, let alone be soft-hearted.
Everyone in the world knows that Gu Qiancheng belongs to him. If he has any shortcomings, no one will let Gu Qiancheng go.
In the imperial study, Feng Shoufu and others arrived only one stick of incense earlier than Qin Jiyan. Unlike Qin Jiyan, who was fresh and tidy, Feng Shoufu and others only tidied up slightly. Although they had changed their clothes, they could still see that
Embarrassing shadow.
"I see you, Your Majesty, long live long live." Hearing the eunuch's announcement, everyone knelt down. Qin Jiyan strode past everyone, sat down and said, "Sit down."
Looking at the several veterans, their legs were trembling, as if they could not stand firmly, Qin Jiyan said again: "Come here, please sit down."
"I thank you, Lord, for your kindness." When several ministers heard this, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, after running around for a day, they were really tired. Their legs didn't feel like their own. If they hadn't held on, they might not have been able to stand at this moment.
At this time, the ministers who were called into the imperial study room, in addition to the few adults who were accompanying them today, also included the Prince of Pingxi County, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, and the chief arrester of Liumen.
It was obvious that Qin Jiyan was planning to send troops against Xihu.
Xihu is in civil strife at this time. If they send troops to attack Xihu at this time, maybe they can take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money.
As for destroying Xihu?
It's not that they don't want to, but they can't do it for the time being, and they are afraid that this move will alert the enemy. You know, in addition to Xihu, their neighbors also have Northern Qi, and now there is even another Jing Yan who is watching eagerly from the sidelines.
Jing Yan was an orthodox member of the royal family. If he led his troops into the capital while Da Qin was attacking Xihu with all its strength, he might actually be able to open the city gate based on his orthodox status.
"Everyone must understand what I am asking you to do. I don't want to listen to your nonsense. You just need to tell me how many troops, horses, grain, and weapons are needed to attack Xihu. How sure are you that we can defeat it?" Qin Jiyan simply said.
Open your mouth neatly and directly reveal the biggest issue.
The one who Xihu knew best was the Yan family. Prince Pingxi had received the news earlier and was naturally prepared. When he heard Qin Jiyan's question, he immediately stepped forward and said: "If you return to the Holy Emperor, you will be far away."
The general's troops are here, so there is no need to increase the number of troops to attack Xihu. We only need to prepare the materials needed for the army to go out for half a year."
The Prince of Pingxi had never understood why Qin Jiyan showed his intention to attack Xihu, but then asked people to bring back his troops. It was not until Feng Yao entered the city that the Prince of Pingxi realized how big a chess game Qin Jiyan had played.
It has to be said that Prince Pingxi prefers a master like Qin Jiyan compared to the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor is old and has long lost his spirit. He only wants to maintain the false peace and will not fight back until he is bullied to the point of being bullied.
However, after winning, he refused to take advantage of the victory, which made Prince Pingxi very frustrated as a military commander.
Obviously they, Da Qin, have strong soldiers and horses, and they should be the ones bullying others, but they have been suffering for more than ten years. They are either without weapons or without food and grass. Even Northern Qi has bullied them, and they still dare not take action. I really want to
Just thinking about it makes me angry.
Prince Pingxi ordered the troops, and the next step was to arrange weapons and food. The weapons were okay. The group of people Feng Yao brought all had armors and weapons. They only needed to prepare a group of substitutes. But...
But not with food and grass. Food and grass are consumables. The food and grass in Feng Yao's hands are limited and can only supply the army for a month at most. In other words, all the people under Feng Yao have to be supported by Qin Jiyan.
They eat food as soldiers, carry guns and get paid. They surrender to the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty should support them. But suddenly there are more than thirty people with half a year's food. Where did they go to raise it in a moment?
As soon as the Minister of War finished speaking, the Minister of Hubu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the tax revenue in Jiangnan has not been paid for two consecutive years. It was flooded again last year. Today, not only is there no harvest, but the court has to allocate grain and grass. Minister
It is really impossible to collect the food and fodder the army needs for half a year."
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance did not dare to sit down anymore and knelt down as he spoke...
He is difficult, he is so rare!
The army in the northwest needs food and grass, the city in the south of the Yangtze River has been flooded and the food needs to be adjusted, and the east of Yi has been frozen, and the food and grass must be pulled out. There is only so much food and grass in the treasury, what can he do?
