When Qin Langchuan saw the visitor, he laughed and said, "I'm waiting for you! Haha!"

Chen Shengyi smiled and led Chang Sihao into the hall.

On the way, he discussed with Chang Sihao that Qin Juexiang usually made Qin Langchuan angry by misbehaving. This time, the old man was hosting a banquet, so it would be better not to mention the unpleasant things. Chang Sihao understood that he was talking about the matter of the second maid. Originally,

He didn't want to fight with Qin Jue, so he agreed. He entered the hall and greeted everyone. Jing Lingyu sat on the right, Chang and Chen sat on the second and third seats respectively. Qin Langchuan greeted behind him, and Qi Beishan walked around the table.

He came, walked to the empty seat next to Qin Menghuan, and said to Chen Sheng: "Jin Zhi, you always use chopsticks with your left hand, why don't you and I change seats?" Chen Sheng said with a blush on his face: "No need." Qi Beishan smiled and sat next to Qin Menghuan.

.

Chang Sihao remembered what Qin Juexiang said when he was captured by Chen Shengyi just after entering the Qin Mansion. He thought that since Qin Menghuan was the fourth daughter of Qin Langchuan, she must be Qin Juexiang's fourth aunt. He said that Brother Chen was outside her window.

Watching, he certainly has feelings for her, but he doesn't know if it is true? Looking at Chen Shengyi again, although he is sitting calmly, he does not dare to look to the other side, which seems a bit unnatural. Qin Menghuan's expression is still the same as before, without any disturbance.

The maids lined up to serve the food on trays. The wine vessels and plates were all exquisite and exquisite in workmanship. The dishes were all delicacies from the mountains and seas. In no time, the food and wine were all served. Several maids stood on both sides with their hands down, observing everyone's needs at any time and serving them attentively.

.Everyone was drinking and chatting happily. Qin Langchuan asked about Chang Sihao's life experience. Chang Sihao told him everything. When talking about defending the city in the army, Qin Langchuan couldn't help but sigh and said: "This Cheng Yunfeng Cheng

Your Excellency, you knew you couldn't do anything but did it, and finally died in the city. This loyalty is admirable, but he only wanted to serve the country with all his loyalty, so he was a little stupid and didn't know how to advance or retreat. The political affairs of our Ming Dynasty were in chaos, and Yan Song left a lot of disasters.

The evil spread was widespread. After Xu Jie, the first assistant, took office, he issued the imperial edict of Xuan Shizong, which corrected the shortcomings of previous periods such as large-scale construction, building temples and rituals, seeking jewelry, and doing weaving. He also restored a number of ministers who had been unjustly convicted and restored their official positions.

It can be said that after the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a bachelor of Wenyuange, was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of Wuyingdian. The political affairs of the court improved even more. I think this man has a beautiful mind and a wise administration, and he will definitely achieve great things in the future.

. Nowadays, political affairs are a little clearer and people are promoted on their merits. It is the time to appoint people. What is lacking is talents like Cheng Yunfeng who are loyal to the country. He died in vain at the hands of the traitors. It is a pity that he was such a useful person. In fact, everything should be done with the overall situation in mind.

Why worry about the gains and losses of a city or a land? If the country becomes strong, why are we afraid that we will not be able to drive out those Tatars?"

Chang Sihao couldn't help but wonder when he heard this. He thought that Mr. Cheng always loved the people like a son and took the lead in war. For such a good person, if he chose the wrong direction, he would inevitably turn into a tomb in yellow sand and scatter his bones on the barren hills.

All soldiers and civilians were killed at the hands of the thieves. It is difficult to say whether the merits outweigh the faults or the faults outweigh the merits, but the destruction of the city and the death of people is always a sad ending. It seems that a true man should have an overview of the overall situation and look at the world.

Don't dwell on the minutiae and miss the big deal.

Qi Beishan said: "Not only was Mr. Zhang a bachelor of Wuying Palace, but he was also crown prince Shaobao. He was a scholar at the age of twelve. He once wrote, 'Green is everywhere outside Xiaoxiang, the jade dew is cold in the sparse forests, and the phoenix feathers are thick and vigorous.

The poem "Shang Duo Gan" is self-explanatory and self-encouraging, which shows that we have lofty aspirations. Later, it was written in "Dulu Pian": "When a soldier dies, he will miss Korea. If he wants to repay the kindness of the emperor, how can he be merciful to others?"

'The sentence shows his heart and bones. Now that he is a high-ranking man and in his prime, I hope that he will have good luck in the future when he comes to the Ming Dynasty."

Qin Menghuan was very disapproving and said calmly: "How can one or two ministers influence the destiny of the country? No matter how many and good strategies for governing the country, it is in vain if the emperor does not listen." As he said, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

, The heroic spirit has not diminished from his eyebrows, but the melancholy between his eyebrows has always lingered.

Jing Lingyu glanced left and right and said with a smile: "The emperor seems to be pretty good now. Didn't he pardon Hai Rui as soon as he came to power? Hai Daren is known as Hai Qingtian and he is a very good official. The emperor released him, and

I've been promoted again, so I won't get any worse."

Qi Beishan shook his head and said: "Whenever a new emperor ascends the throne, this is not the case? The new official takes office with great enthusiasm, and the emperor is the same. Hai Rui has a good reputation among the people, and pardoning him is just to win the hearts of the people."

Qin Yidao: "Hai Rui is a man of righteous temperament and too naive. This can be seen from his argument that 'if one person is upright, the world is upright'. He feels that the rise and fall of a country is all due to the emperor, and everything depends on him."

"Your Majesty, please cheer up." Isn't it a joke? Although this person has a clear name, he doesn't understand tactics and can be easily taken advantage of by others. It is uncertain what he will do in the future and what his prospects are. We hope that he can be a great help to the people of the world.

The blessing may be far away."

Qi Beishan said to Jing Lingyu: "The Hundred Swords Alliance has been in the capital for nearly a hundred years. During this period, it has gone through numerous political changes and party disputes, but it has always stood firm. The successive leaders of the alliance and the backbone of the alliance are all talented and strategic people, and they have great influence on the political situation.

He has a profound insight and can sail a boat on a turbulent sea like a chariot on a level land. He can deal with people and entertain people with ease. I heard that my respected father also has close friendships with several ministers in the court. I wonder what Jing Dajian thinks of the political situation? "

Jing Lingyu said with a smile: "My father has many friends, um, there are also a few officials. They often talk about the current situation together. As a little girl, I listen to those boring things, so I don't know much about those officials.

Although my son is a good talker, he is very smart and capable. Dad also said that in terms of ability, some of them are far inferior to the chiefs of the three departments in our alliance. However, a while ago, a friend of dad's named

Gao Gong resigned and returned home. Dad and Alliance Leader Zheng sent him back with regretful expressions on their faces, saying that he was forced to resign. He was a very smart man, so it was a pity that he left like this."

Qin Yi and Qi Beishan looked at each other in astonishment, thinking that Gao Gong had served as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and other positions. In the 45th year of Jiajing period, he became a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and entered the cabinet at the same time as Guo Pu. This person has a very deep political power.

Duan is a big shot who is famous all over the world because of his extraordinary talent. He is not only "very smart". Although he knew that the Hundred Sword Alliance had a deep connection with the government, he did not expect that Zheng Tianxiao and Jing Wenzhong could become friends in the cabinet.

The characters are really shocking.

The Hundred Swords Alliance is located in an important part of the capital, so it must always be cautious. It must place people in various military and political offices to spy on secrets. The struggle between the parties cannot escape Zheng Tianxiao's eyes. Those who are mixed up in the political whirlpool every day

How can the party officials be so easy to deal with? Each party force has its own intelligence network, working undercover, with constant contacts. The emperor also has officials under his command to supervise everyone's words and deeds. Inside the capital, the surface is as solid as iron, but the inside is dark.

The waves are turbulent, the undercurrents are strange, and the complex situation is no less complicated than the rainy and windy rivers and lakes, or even more so.

Qin Langchuan said: "Gao Gong was able to join the cabinet because he was recommended by Xu Shoufu. However, this man was arrogant and did not take Xu Jie seriously. He had several disobediences, which made Xu Jie quite unhappy. When Xu Shoufu drafted Shizong's edict, Shan and

Zhang Juzheng discussed it, but ignored Gao Gong, and the rift between the two deepened. He was forced to return home now because of the cause in the future, and it was his own fault. However, this person was highly valued by the emperor, and he might be used again in the future.

It can be seen... Sigh, if there were less fighting in the cabinet, the world would not be like this now."

After he finished speaking, everyone present looked solemn and deep in thought. Chang Sihao didn't know the current political situation and just listened to the excitement, thinking that since Gao Gong was promoted by Xu Shoufu, he was disrespectful to others after he came up.

It's wrong.

Qin Menghuan, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. A smile that seemed both indifferent and disdainful appeared on his face. He struck the cup with his chopsticks and sang leisurely: "Doctor Chu was walking by the Yin River, and General Wu's clothes were stained with blood.

There are many heroes on the banks of Wujiang River, and the Prime Minister of Xianyang City has retired. How can these people, who are in peace and uneasy, be as happy and happy as I am in Wuliuzhuang."

She sang a Yuan tune, about the exile of Chu doctor Qu Yuan, the murder of Wu Zixu, the overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang, and the beheading of Qin Prime Minister Li Si in Xianyang. These people all wanted to rule the country and bring peace to the world, but in the end they had no good results.

It's not as good as my leisurely and secluded life, which is free and easy.

Qin Yi frowned: "Fourth sister, there are guests here, you are drunk."

Qin Meng said with a smile: "I am drunk, who will wake up? I have always been drunk and laughed."

Qin Langchuan laughed loudly: "Four girls reminded me well. Let's just drink and chat today, regardless of political affairs."

Chen Sheng changed the topic and asked Chang Sihao: "By the way, Xiaohao, you said you concealed your age when you joined the army. So how old are you this year?"

Chang Sihao said: "There is lack of water and food in Tucheng, and the people are all dark and thin. When I applied for the army, I was afraid that no one would be accepted. I was fifteen years old, so I lied about being sixteen. I stayed in the army for a year, and now I am exactly sixteen."

Years old."

Jing Lingyu smiled and said: "Although you are no longer thin, you are still dark. It can be seen that whether you are dark or not has nothing to do with lack of water and food." Everyone laughed.

Qin Yidao: "Looking at your tall figure now, with heavy bones and bulging muscles, you look like you are in your twenties. It turns out you are only sixteen..."

The eldest lady is nineteen this year. Chen Sheng guessed that he had some concerns about the incompatibility of marriage ages and said with a smile: "There are seven women and eight men. Sixteen years old is very mature."

Qin Menghuan said: "It's a good thing for a junior girl to hold a gold brick, so what's the problem? I think although this child is born darker, her words and deeds show that she is sincere and sincere without losing her good looks, and her appearance is also good.

What happened today is beyond common sense, but it is also inevitable. If the child Jue Xiang does not act nonsense, he cannot be poisoned. If he is not poisoned, if he meets Yin'er, he will not let her reveal her thoughts of staying alone in the boudoir for four years.

, our Qin family has been at odds with the Xiao Mansion for many years, and there are murders that have not been avenged. No matter how much she likes the boy from the Xiao Mansion, it will never come to fruition. This dream weaved in the early days of love really needs to be shattered as soon as possible.

, this child came to my Qin family by chance, he can be regarded as a flying phoenix. Since things have reached this stage, why not let everyone be happy? "

Qin Langchuan smiled and said: "You don't have to persuade him. Have you forgotten that your late sister-in-law was one year older than him? Haha, if the two love each other, even if they are separated by ten or twenty years, it will not be an obstacle.

?Everyone in the world has open-minded people. If we don’t care about these things, do we, the children of Jianghu, still have to be rigid?"

Qin Yi glanced at the girl and said in a low voice: "That's what dad said."

Jing Lingyu looked sideways and chuckled: "Xiao Hei, everyone in the Qin family likes you. It seems that you are destined to be the Prince Consort. Congratulations!"

Chang Sihao was embarrassed: "You are talking nonsense again, the prince-in-law married the princess."

Jing Lingyu said: "Isn't the eldest lady the same as the little princess in the old man's heart? Why do you choose me?" Then he took out the carved dragon jade pendant and threw it to him, and said with a smile: "It's just that you rushed to the official position.

It will be difficult for my son's family to have a new wife."

Qi Beishan said: "Why, does Little Brother Chang still have a marriage contract with another family?"

Jing Lingyu laughed again: "Oh, oh, little brother Chang is not as nice as Uncle Sun."

Chang Sihao hurriedly explained the origin of the jade pendant, and Chen Shengyi supplemented from the side. Only then did everyone know the whole reason, and they all laughed at Jing Lingyu for being too naughty. Qin Langchuan said: "As entrusted by others, it is a matter of loyalty to the people. Ask the Cheng family about this

The matter is very simple. Beishan, please ask someone to investigate this matter."

Qi Beishan respectfully accepted the order, left the table and went to the courtyard to slap his palms twice. Two figures flew over and said respectfully: "My subordinates are trying new things in the valley, so there is no better way to see the chief manager." Qi Beishan made an explanation, and the two of them turned and left.
