When Lin Chong's fingertips touched the woman's hand in front of him, he knew that this person was not the Gu Qinghuan he had longed for. Although there was no difference in appearance between the two, when they touched the wrist, he knew that the feeling was different. Specifically,
Lin Chong himself couldn't explain clearly what was different about it. Countless thoughts came out of his head in an instant, but the thoughts passed by in a flash. Lin Chong had no countermeasures, but he thought of the harshness towards women in ancient times.
If this matter is really exposed, what will happen to this woman?
Lin Chong didn't dare to think anymore. He smiled slightly and said, "Qing Huan, don't stand so far away all the time. I don't know anything." He silently took back his hand and looked into Gu Qinghuan's eyes.
With a slightly sarcastic smile.
Lin Chong glanced at Wang Chengen. It was obvious that the old fox had not noticed that the little fox next to him had been stolen. He gently pulled Lu Qinghuan's sleeves, put her aside, and whispered: "Don't talk so much.
Let people see the flaws.”
As soon as the little woman next to her heard this, her face suddenly changed. She was about to say something and opened her lips lightly, but then she glanced at the hateful faces of the people around her and felt horrified. How could she speak? Lin Chong looked at it.
After seeing this little woman calm down, she felt slightly relieved.
Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng were political rivals in court and love rivals in private. They both sent spies beside Lin Chong, both hoping that this female spy could help them gain Lin Chong's trust, but they didn't know that it was not just Liu Shi who
It was Gu Qinghuan who had long made Lin Chong suspicious, but Lin Chong was deeply in love with Gu Qinghuan and was paralyzed even though he knew that she was not sincere to him.
Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng followed Lin Chong, and the three of them chatted for a while about the affairs of the Third Camp. Lin Chong was thinking about the ministers who had just come to court and the affairs of Gu Qinghuan, and his interest waned. Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng were also sensible people.
, seeing that Lin Chong's face was not good-looking, the two of them resigned. Only at this time did Wang Chengen come out from behind the screen.
Lin Chong knew that he had been eavesdropping from behind, so he didn't care much, so he asked: "What is the name of that civil servant just now? He seems to be quite knowledgeable."
"Humph, you kid knows what it means to be insightful. It's just that when someone says a few words that suit your wishes, you feel like you've found a savior and a like-minded person. But you don't know that most people are treating you like a monkey.
"Child, you are still too naive..." Lin Chong originally thought that Wang Chengen would praise him, but he did not expect him to say such words. However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that what Wang Chengen said was very reasonable.
Your daily words and deeds are all seen by those ministers, so it is difficult not to know your own thoughts.
Lin Chong couldn't help but feel ashamed. Just now, he thought he had suddenly become a bole who could see a thousand-mile horse. In an instant, he became an ignorant child. Compared with an old man like Wang Cheng'en, Lin Chong was still far behind.
However, he did not expect that Wang Chengen suddenly turned around and said, "Are you really interested in providing disaster relief?"
Lin Chong heard the mystery behind this and nodded hurriedly: "Of course, of course, I have always been concerned about disaster relief. This is a big deal. If the supplies from the rear catch up, I will have so many people in the Ming Dynasty.
Aren’t you afraid of the Qing Dynasty’s cavalry?”
Wang Chengen looked at Lin Chong carefully and snorted from his nose: "Sure enough, I gained a lot of experience after leaving the palace."
As soon as he heard this, Lin Chong was frightened out of his wits, and his whole body was cold. He looked at Wang Chengen and said vaguely: "Come out of the palace... What do you mean about leaving the palace? Don't..."
Wang Chengen came closer, stared into Lin Chong's eyes, and said condescendingly: "Little bastard, do you think you can escape from my grasp? I tell you, that is impossible, if you dare to do anything again
Wrong brain, be careful not to save your life, let alone your life, even the life of the little girl you treat as your treasure!"
Wang Chengen usually behaved like a slave, but this time he suddenly changed, becoming ruthless and full of murderous intent. Lin Chong was frightened to death.
Lin Chong was stunned. Wang Chengen snorted and threw an elixir into Lin Chong's mouth: "Boy, if you dare to act without my consent again, it will not be so easy to get the antidote."
After saying that, Wang Chengen patted his clothes and turned away, leaving Lin Chong alone and confused.
At court the next day, the scholar from yesterday stood up again and talked about disaster relief. However, Lin Chong felt that Wang Chengen's shadow yesterday was too great and he should not talk about it. However, Wang Chengen whispered in his ear and said: "I want to
Say whatever you want and do whatever you want, don't worry about me."
Lin Chong stood up and asked: "You said that the top priority now is disaster relief, but Dorgon's generals are outside the pass. Do we really have the time to spend time on disaster relief?"
As soon as Lin Chong finished speaking, people around him responded. Those Donglin Party members were all middle class people and seemed to have no regard for the working people at the bottom, so they all thought that Lin Chong did not intend to take this disaster relief measure.
I was extremely happy in my heart.
However, Lin Chong asked this not because he felt that he did not have time to provide disaster relief, but because he wanted to test this person's ability and see if he could convince everyone with his power of words. If he could really do this, he would
He can be regarded as a useful person with outstanding talents. Otherwise, he is just a mediocre person who follows the trend and follows the wind.
The minister knelt down and said: "I heard that talented monarchs always put the people first, but only mediocre monarchs resort to military warfare. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accumulated the capital for several years of war through three dynasties, but he was also defeated.
Well, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was no British leader in the Western Han Dynasty, but everyone said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was an emperor who made achievements. It is true that I cannot deny this, but this achievement was not the result of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty alone. If it were not for Wen Jing's
Without governance, there would not have been the great achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. According to this minister, if you want to strengthen the country, you must first strengthen the people, and if you want to strengthen the country, you must let the people eat first. Nowadays, the war can be avoided and retreated if possible. Only then
It’s the right way!”
Lin Chong was overjoyed when he heard what he said, which spoke to his heart. He glanced at Wang Chengen and saw Wang Chengen nodding. It seemed that he was quite appreciative of this person's talent and got Wang Chengen's approval.
Lin Chong felt extremely proud: "I told you to underestimate me!"
