Gu Min watched Shen Ying ponder for a while, thinking he would say something.Sorrowful words come.
The result is that he is too naive. Their emperor seems to be born to conflict with the words "wind, flowers, snow and moon". There is no worst, only more unpleasant.
But any person with normal thinking would not say what moved his heart when he saw him fall on the wrestling ring, but Shen Ying was able to speak with confidence, and successfully blocked all his next words with one sentence.
It's not good to mention anything, but to mention his embarrassing thing, Gu Min lost all charming thoughts in an instant, and can only sigh, Shen Ying is the reincarnation of a nemesis who is dedicated to defeating him!
Gu Min let go of Shen Ying, turned over and lay down on the side, and sighed, "Your Majesty, you really know which pot to hold and which pot to lift."
Shen Ying blinked, and he still felt baffled, "What? What am I wrong about? But I just felt distressed when I saw you fell on the wrestling ring. I still remember that feeling until now, to be honest. Let me tell you, why don’t you seem very happy after hearing this?”
"I'm not unhappy, what the emperor said is right." Gu Min looked sideways at Shen Ying helplessly and said, "It's just that your emperor, when it's just the two of us in private, you don't have to tell the truth, so you can't say something Deceive me nicely?"
Shen Ying turned over and patted Gu Min's chest, and said with a cheerful smile: "Oh! I understand! You just want me to make you happy, right? You should have said it earlier! If you had said it earlier, I would have understood? Then You say what you want to hear, and I'll just tell you."
Gu Min raised his hand to cover his eyes, Shen Ying said whatever he wanted to hear, so did Shen Ying say it or him?It's better not to say it, isn't this self-deception?
In the past, when the two of them were acting on the occasion, Shen Ying would say that he liked him and insisted on him. Now that the two of them are not fake, if they want to hear these words from Shen Ying's mouth, it is really true. It's harder than climbing to the sky!
Who can tell him that there is any way to make Shen Ying reveal his true feelings, even if he can't hear the previous vows of eternal love, even if it is a simple sentence "I am happy with you"?
Seeing Gu Min's expression, Shen Ying felt a little lost, and didn't understand where his "sentimentality" came from. Aren't they doing well now?
Shen Ying couldn't help poking Gu Min's waist with her finger, "What's wrong with you? You feel weird, maybe it's because you didn't want to hear what I said just now, so you are angry?"
Gu Min put down his hand, stared at Shen Ying silently for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand to wrap Shen Ying's shoulder, pressed Shen Ying to his chest, then raised Shen Ying's chin and kissed his lips, putting all the spoiled scenery to rest. All the words swallowed.
Forget it, for the time being, it is impossible for Shen Ying to be enlightened on the matter of fun. Since you can't hear what you want to hear, then let's practice it!

The gold and silver treasures confiscated from Guo Jiuchen's mansion, hundreds of boxes were moved out of the underground secret room, and it took three days to evacuate them. In addition, the confiscated property from the mansion of Du's henchmen made the originally empty treasury Zi became rich, at least in the past two years, the court no longer had to worry about money.
No wonder the emperors of all dynasties liked to ransack their homes. Once the treasury was empty, if they ransacked the houses of a few corrupt officials, they would have all the money. Who wouldn’t like such a simple and convenient way to make money?
The newly appointed Minister of the Household Department has a smile on his face for the past few days, the corners of his mouth can reach to the ears, and the other ministers look at him as if they were the God of Wealth.
After eradicating the forces that troubled the court, the power returned to the emperor's hands. No one threatened the imperial power, but then Shen Ying faced various difficulties brought about by governing the country and bringing peace to the world. Don't be idle.
When the imperial court came down this day, Shen Ying summoned six ministers to the imperial study for a small meeting.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry, please play first, saying that roads, bridges, water repairs and fortifications need to be built in any place, which is an urgent project, and the imperial court is also requested to allocate funds as soon as possible.
Shen Ying thought about it, these are all related to the country's infrastructure construction, so of course they have to be approved, so she waved her hand, yes!
Then the Minister of the Ministry of War spoke again, saying that the Tatar Khan had heard the news of the turmoil in the Daying Dynasty. Recently, the Tatar army was about to move around the border. The court should send more troops to guard the northern border, so as not to give the Mongols an opportunity.
Shen Ying listened to what the Minister of the Ministry of War said, and she believed that the issue of sovereignty should not be violated. The Tatars were ambitious. They thought that if there was an internal struggle in the Daying court, they would have a chance to fish in troubled waters. They had to send troops to beat them, so that they would know Convergence, so with a wave of his hand, it's right!
Just to send troops to the northern border, it is inevitable to need food, grass and military pay, which is not a small expense, and the smile on the face of the Minister of the Household Department has begun to feel a little uneasy.
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites saw that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War needed money, so he could not lag behind, so he took advantage of the opportunity and proposed to build schools and altars and temples. In addition, the Sifang Pavilion, which received envoys from various countries, also had to be repaired, so as to provide for the future. Come and prepare.
Shen Ying thought about it, Guozijian is a place to cultivate talents for the country, and the Sifang Pavilion receives envoys, which represents the appearance of a country, so can it not be repaired?So it can only be allowed.
The Minister of the Household Department at the side roughly calculated the amount of money to be allocated in his heart, and his face completely lost his smile. The money had only been moved to the treasury before it was warmed up, so he had to take it out again. Can you not feel heartbroken? ?
The remaining ones who haven’t asked for money are the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. They are also racking their brains to figure out what name to ask the emperor for money, so that the emperor will think that neither of them is doing anything.
Fortunately, Shen Ying discovered early that these two ministers were also asking for money, so she promptly stopped today's topic, "Okay! That's all for today. The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites will go back and present their budgets to me. , Hubu Shangshu stays, and everyone else retreats."
After everyone saluted and left, Shen Ying asked the Minister of the Household Department in a low voice: "Ai Qing, have you ever calculated how much money is the minimum cost for the things they said just now?"
"Back to the emperor, I made a rough calculation, at least this number." Hubu Shangshu showed a vain smile on his face, and raised his hand to draw a number.
"500 million?" Shen Ying was violently shocked by this number, and quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip of water to subdue the shock. He really didn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, so he agreed on three things, and he was going to spend 500 million taels of silver?
This is still a time when the country is prosperous and the people are safe. If there is a famine somewhere, or if there are years of wars, it is really not enough to copy Guo Jiuchen's house!
No wonder it is said that starting a business is easy and difficult to keep a business. The ancestors brought down the country, but this country is not for you to live in vain, and it also requires property management fees!
Hubu Shangshu said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. I know that you want to do something for the people of the world, but things have to be done one by one. If you are eager for success, it would be bad if you give up eating because of choking."
"What Aiqing said makes sense, but what they played just now is also a major matter that concerns people's livelihood and must be done. The money is not spent where it should not be spent. Money is not saved, but earned Let's do this," Shen Ying put down her teacup, got up and walked to the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and said, "Go back and bring me all the income and expenditure accounts of the Ministry of Accounting for the past few years. I want to see where the income of the court comes from. Come on, where did it go again?"
Hubu Shangshu cupped his hands and said: "I obey the order!"
Shen Ying waved her hand, "Go down."
The Minister of the Household Department resigned and left, and Shen Ying stayed in the study alone, thinking hard about how to make money to support the country.
Suddenly Shuoyu came in to report that Ling Qingheng was asking to see him outside the palace.
As soon as Shen Ying heard that Ling Qingheng was back, she hurriedly ordered Shuoyu to bring him in.
Ling Qingheng was sent by him to send King Qi to settle overseas. The overseas journey was far away, and it took nearly two months to go back and forth, which was really not easy.
After a while, Ling Qingheng came in. I haven't seen him for two months. Perhaps it was because of the sea breeze. Ling Qingheng's complexion turned darker, but his figure was not thinner. Qi, but a little more mature and capable.
Ling Qingheng respectfully bowed to Shen Ying and said, "Cao Min, I ask the emperor to bow to Jin An."
"I'm safe." Shen Ying walked over to personally support Ling Qingheng, asked the little eunuch to move a chair for Ling Qingheng and serve tea, and then said, "You've worked hard all this way, King Qi is settled down?"
Ling Qingheng said: "Back to the emperor, Cao Min took your edict and sent King Qi to the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom promised to treat King Qi kindly. After Cao Min's persuasion, King Qi also expressed his understanding of your painstaking efforts. Letting go of the past, I will always live in the Wa country in the future, and will never step into the Central Plains again."
Shen Ying nodded with satisfaction, "That's good. Actually, I can't bear to let him leave his hometown at such a young age to live overseas, but his status is special. If he continues to stay in Daying, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have evil intentions in the future." He is only used to fight for power and profit, so it is the best choice to let him leave here. Wa country is a vassal country of Daying, as long as I am in power for a day, Shen Han can live there for a day."
Ling Qingheng said: "The emperor's heart is kind. Before Caomin came back, King Qi also asked Caomin to convey his gratitude to the emperor. I believe that King Qi will live well in the future."
"Okay, after talking about King Qi, let's talk about you." Shen Ying sat down opposite Ling Qingheng, waved her hand to signal Ling Qingheng to drink tea first, and after Ling Qingheng took two sips of tea, she said leisurely, "Qingheng, this time you can You have done a great job in putting down the Du party rebellion, I plan to appoint you as the envoy of the fourth-rank Jinyiwei town, what do you think?"
Ling Qingheng put down the teacup, got up and said: "Your Majesty, Caomin is just a scumbag with no fame and no knowledge of how to be an official. I really dare not accept the emperor's reward. If someone like Caomin becomes an official, I'm afraid There is a debt of grace."
Shen Ying smiled and said: "It's okay if you don't want to work in Jinyiwei, then I will give you a spare job. I won't ask you to do anything, and I won't hold you back. How about it?"
Ling Qingheng still refused to accept the reward on the grounds that he was incompetent. Shen Ying's kindness was repeatedly refuted, and he couldn't help but turn cold, and slapped the teacup in his hand on the table in a lukewarm manner. Authentic: "Qingheng, since you were willing to be loyal to me, you have indeed helped me do a lot of things. You have contributed a lot to being able to take power now. I intend to reward you, but you keep refusing, which makes it very difficult for me. I don't doubt your purpose of doing things for me. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the court, who does things for me without selfishness? Those who ask nothing of me, I don't feel at ease when using them, do you understand?"
Ling Qingheng smiled slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, the fact that the grassroots do not accept the official position is not because they do not accept the emperor's kindness, but because the emperor has given the grassroots the greatest reward."
Shen Ying asked bluntly: "Are you saying that I have eradicated the power of Guo Jiuchen's party? But after all, I have not liquidated them, nor have I helped you who were persecuted by the eunuch party to reverse the case, what kind of reward is this? Do you know? If I want to kill Guo Jiuchen now, it is as easy as crushing an ant on the ground. The reason why I keep his life is because I have not forgotten the promise I made to you. Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise. But Ling Qingheng, you should tell me your real identity, right?"
Ling Qingheng was a little surprised when he heard the words, "So the emperor doesn't know the identity of Cao Min?"
Shen Ying frowned, and looked at Ling Qingheng strangely, "You are speaking strangely, should I know? Although I have doubts about your origin, I have always been suspicious of people, so I never thought of investigating you in private. Don't you think that I will be the kind of double-faced person?"
Ling Qingheng hurriedly said: "The grass people dare not! It's the grass people who think that Gu Shaojun should have already told the emperor about the grass people."
Shen Ying was taken aback for a moment: "...You said that Junshu knows your identity?" After a pause, she suddenly realized, "You two know each other?"
Shen Ying's hand on the desk was silently clenched. Fortunately, he always thought that the protagonist, Gong Shou, had no chance to meet because of him being a hindrance. As a result, the two had already had a private relationship behind his back? !Gu Min hadn't told him yet!It's really unreasonable!
Ling Qingheng knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people have just returned, and they haven't understood the situation in Beijing yet. I just heard that the Emperor is relying on Gu Shaojun very much now. In addition, the Emperor and Gu Shaojun have gone through life and death together, so I thought that Gu Shaojun would kill him." Confidentially tell the emperor about his life experience."
"He did tell me about his life experience, but," Shen Ying raised her eyebrows and sneered, "what does this have to do with you?"
Ling Qingheng straightened his upper body, looked directly at Shen Ying, and said sonorously: "Please forgive Cao Min for the crime of bullying the king. In fact, Ling is not Cao Min's real surname. Cao Min's real surname is Shu, but the son of the late Shu Guogong Shu Yan!"
Shen Ying was shocked by Ling Qingheng's words for a moment, she never expected that Ling Qingheng is now the queen of the Shu family!
Then it's no wonder that Ling Qingheng is the protagonist of the original book. He and Gu Min have a similar life experience, and they also bear blood and deep feuds. They are also like-minded, and it is reasonable that they will come together in the end.
Shen Ying couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't accidentally traveled into this novel, would Gu Min have fallen in love with Ling Qingheng like the original plot development?Especially after knowing that Gu Min and Ling Qingheng had known each other for a long time, he was even more curious. How does Gu Min feel about Ling Qingheng now?
"It turns out that one of you is a descendant of the Xu family, and the other is a descendant of the Shu family." Shen Ying calmed down, tried to pretend not to care, and asked lightly, "Then how did you and Gu Min know each other?"
Ling Qingheng said: "Back to the emperor, a friend of Cao Min was unfortunately caught by the Jin Yiwei for robbing Guo Jiuchen's birthday gift. That's why Gu Shaojun found Cao Min through that person. That's how we met."
Shen Ying continued to ask coldly: "Since you have known each other early, why didn't you tell me?"
Ling Qingheng smiled helplessly, and said: "Forgive me, Your Majesty. After both Gu Shaojun and I are 'conspiracy sinners', we really can't afford to expose our identities, especially when the Emperor was still held hostage by Empress Dowager Liu, so we don't Dare to tell the emperor rashly, lest the emperor be implicated by us."
Shen Ying sneered: "Then why are you willing to say it now?"
Ling Qingheng said with emotion: "Because Caomin knows that the emperor is a wise monarch, he will definitely see through the details, set things right, and return justice to Empress Xu, Prince Zhaohuai, and Xu Shu!"
Shen Ying patted the table and stood up, walked in front of Ling Qingheng, looked down at him, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, "Ling Qingheng, you are very smart. But if you think that you are the only smart person in the world, you are very wrong. !"
Ling Qingheng hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground: "Caomin dare not!"
"Don't you dare?" Shen Ying snorted coldly, "Just now when I asked you about your background, you deliberately involved Jun Shu, just to test whether I know Jun Shu's real identity. If I know, you will be like the one just now." Let me be honest, but if I don’t know, then Junshu will become your shield. You know that I love Junshu and will not do anything to him. Another point, if Junshu hasn’t revealed his true identity yet, you can say it now Coming out is to force me to make a choice between helping the Xu Shu family to reverse the case or not. Ling Qingheng, no, Shu Qingheng, do you think I guessed your mind correctly?"
Ling Qingheng remained silent, but he did not defend himself, and silence represented the answer.
Shen Ying stepped aside, "My aunt thinks that you are a descendant of the Shu family, and you have done a lot of things for me, so I don't care about your words and deeds today, but you should remember, it is your ability to be good at understanding people's hearts , but don't try to figure out what I'm thinking, the majesty of the king is unpredictable, and you can't bear the consequences of the emperor's anger."
Ling Qingheng said loudly: "Caomin thank the emperor for your instruction!"
Shen Ying said indifferently: "You step back."
Ling Qingheng stood up, bowed his head and walked out backwards. The moment he turned around and put down the curtain, a sly smile appeared on his tense face. He was not afraid of the emperor's questioning of him. As long as he could help the Shu family For the purpose of cleaning up his grievances, he doesn't care about anything.
—
Gu Min got off duty and entered the palace, before he reached the gate of Yongle Palace, a young eunuch hurried over and bowed his head and whispered a few words to him.
When Gu Min heard this, his expression changed suddenly.
What the little eunuch said was that Ling Qingheng had met Shen Ying when he entered the palace in the morning. Shen Ying came out of the imperial study and returned to Yongle Palace with a dark face. Now everyone in Yongle Palace could see that the emperor was angry. Don't dare to take a breath.
Even if Gu Mindang guessed what was going on, he was probably betrayed by Ling Qingheng.
Gu Min didn't deliberately hide Shen Ying's matter about Ling Qingheng from Shen Ying. The reason why he didn't say anything was because Shen Ying would be angry if he found out that he and Ling Qingheng had a private relationship. Let the emperor know that he is a descendant of the Shu family, and let Ling Qingheng decide whether to tell the emperor when he comes back.
But Gu Min did not expect that Ling Qingheng not only recruited himself as a descendant of the Shu family, but also recruited their private contacts. Ling Qingheng "stabbed" in the back?
The matter has come to this point, it is useless to worry about who betrayed the other, let's think about how to coax Shen Ying first.
Gu Min entered Yongle Palace anxiously, Shen Ying was looking through the account books sent by the household department after the case, five years of account books, two baskets couldn't fit, the stack was higher than others, there were so many accounts, he was dazzled, he was so dazzled. One head is bigger than two, and their faces are even more stinky.
"Your Majesty." Gu Min walked over carrying the teapot, and graciously changed Shen Ying for a cup of tea.
When Shen Ying heard the voice, she knew it was Gu Min. She fixed her eyes on the words on the ledger without lifting her eyes, "Here we come."
Gu Min said with concern: "I heard from the servants that the emperor has been reading the account book all afternoon. It's getting late. Be careful that the candlelight hurts your eyes. Why don't you read it tomorrow?"
Shen Ying flipped through the account book in her hand, and said with a sneer, "Tomorrow will be tomorrow, and there will be so many tomorrows. If you wait until tomorrow to do everything, what can you do?"
Gu Min knew it well, sure enough, Shen Ying was upset at seeing him now, and she was making excuses.
Gu Min walked to Shen Ying's side, picked up an account book on the table, "The minister will read it with the emperor."
Shen Ying quickly reached out and snatched the account book that Gu Mingang was holding, and said angrily, "Who wants you to read it with me? This is the account book of the Ministry of Accounts, can it be read casually by others?"
Gu Min patiently said: "The minister doesn't look at it, I just stand here and accompany the emperor."
Shen Ying looked up at Gu Min and sneered: "Who wants you to accompany me? I said I want someone to accompany me? Are you idle and have nothing to do? Can't you find something to do?"
Gu Min raised his brows calmly, wanting to argue with him every sentence, it seems that today's anger is really not small.
At this time, taking the initiative to admit mistakes is the best policy.
Gu Min bowed to Shen Ying, "Your majesty calm down, it's my fault, I shouldn't have kept Ling Qingheng from you."
Only then did Shen Ying slap the account book in her hand on the table, squinted at Gu Min, and deliberately said in a eccentric way: "What's wrong with you? Of course you can't tell me about Ling Qingheng's old background, so can't you highlight your deep love and righteousness?" ?”
Gu Min stood up straight, and asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, you can say that I am loyal, where did the words "deep affection and righteousness come from?"
Shen Ying sneered and said: "Who knows, you and him have been in private contact for so long without telling me, who knows how far your friendship has developed?"
Gu Min sensed the sourness in Shen Ying's words, and suddenly understood a little bit, a little surprised and a little surprised, "Your Majesty, are you jealous of Ling Qingheng?"
Shen Ying slapped the table, snorted and said: "Joke! How could I be jealous of a defeated general? In terms of looks and IQ, how can he compare with me? But I can warn you, I can't rub sand in my eyes, you If you dare to be ambiguous with other people, then pack your bags and leave the palace as soon as possible!"
He also said that he was not jealous, and the sour taste was almost soaring.
Gu Min never expected that Ling Qingheng would make Shen Ying jealous for him, which meant that Shen Ying cared about him very much. Thinking about it this way, Ling Qingheng didn't seem so hateful anymore.
Gu Min suppressed the secret joy in his heart, stretched out his hand to hold Shen Ying's hand, and said with a smile: "The emperor knows, I have never been ambiguous with anyone, except you."
Shen Ying raised her chin haughtily, "Who will believe what you say without proof?"
Gu Min sincerely raised his other hand and said, "I can swear."
As soon as Shen Ying heard that Gu Min was about to swear, she was finally willing to look him in the eye, and said in a deep voice, "Then you can swear 'If Gu Min hadn't met Shen Ying, I would never have liked Ling Qingheng'!"
Gu Min put down his hand and shook his head, "That won't work."
Seeing Gu Min's refusal, Shen Ying couldn't help being angry, she pulled her hand out of Gu Min's hand, pointed at Gu Min with a cold face and said, "Okay, Gu Junshu! I knew you were against Ling Qingheng..."
Gu Min stretched out his hand to hold Shen Ying's wrist, pulled him into his arms, and said with a low smile against Shen Ying's ear, "I don't want to swear because the previous assumption is not true. I can swear that I will never like Ling Qingheng." , but I can't if I haven't met you."
The author has something to say: Ling Qingheng: Are you young lovers dating gwps?
The result is that he is too naive. Their emperor seems to be born to conflict with the words "wind, flowers, snow and moon". There is no worst, only more unpleasant.
But any person with normal thinking would not say what moved his heart when he saw him fall on the wrestling ring, but Shen Ying was able to speak with confidence, and successfully blocked all his next words with one sentence.
It's not good to mention anything, but to mention his embarrassing thing, Gu Min lost all charming thoughts in an instant, and can only sigh, Shen Ying is the reincarnation of a nemesis who is dedicated to defeating him!
Gu Min let go of Shen Ying, turned over and lay down on the side, and sighed, "Your Majesty, you really know which pot to hold and which pot to lift."
Shen Ying blinked, and he still felt baffled, "What? What am I wrong about? But I just felt distressed when I saw you fell on the wrestling ring. I still remember that feeling until now, to be honest. Let me tell you, why don’t you seem very happy after hearing this?”
"I'm not unhappy, what the emperor said is right." Gu Min looked sideways at Shen Ying helplessly and said, "It's just that your emperor, when it's just the two of us in private, you don't have to tell the truth, so you can't say something Deceive me nicely?"
Shen Ying turned over and patted Gu Min's chest, and said with a cheerful smile: "Oh! I understand! You just want me to make you happy, right? You should have said it earlier! If you had said it earlier, I would have understood? Then You say what you want to hear, and I'll just tell you."
Gu Min raised his hand to cover his eyes, Shen Ying said whatever he wanted to hear, so did Shen Ying say it or him?It's better not to say it, isn't this self-deception?
In the past, when the two of them were acting on the occasion, Shen Ying would say that he liked him and insisted on him. Now that the two of them are not fake, if they want to hear these words from Shen Ying's mouth, it is really true. It's harder than climbing to the sky!
Who can tell him that there is any way to make Shen Ying reveal his true feelings, even if he can't hear the previous vows of eternal love, even if it is a simple sentence "I am happy with you"?
Seeing Gu Min's expression, Shen Ying felt a little lost, and didn't understand where his "sentimentality" came from. Aren't they doing well now?
Shen Ying couldn't help poking Gu Min's waist with her finger, "What's wrong with you? You feel weird, maybe it's because you didn't want to hear what I said just now, so you are angry?"
Gu Min put down his hand, stared at Shen Ying silently for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand to wrap Shen Ying's shoulder, pressed Shen Ying to his chest, then raised Shen Ying's chin and kissed his lips, putting all the spoiled scenery to rest. All the words swallowed.
Forget it, for the time being, it is impossible for Shen Ying to be enlightened on the matter of fun. Since you can't hear what you want to hear, then let's practice it!

Money is not saved, but earned Let's do this," Shen Ying put down her teacup, got up and walked to the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and said, "Go back and bring me all the income and expenditure accounts of the Ministry of Accounting for the past few years. I want to see where the income of the court comes from. Come on, where did it go again?"
Hubu Shangshu cupped his hands and said: "I obey the order!"
Shen Ying waved her hand, "Go down."
The Minister of the Household Department resigned and left, and Shen Ying stayed in the study alone, thinking hard about how to make money to support the country.
Suddenly Shuoyu came in to report that Ling Qingheng was asking to see him outside the palace.
As soon as Shen Ying heard that Ling Qingheng was back, she hurriedly ordered Shuoyu to bring him in.
Ling Qingheng was sent by him to send King Qi to settle overseas. The overseas journey was far away, and it took nearly two months to go back and forth, which was really not easy.
After a while, Ling Qingheng came in. I haven't seen him for two months. Perhaps it was because of the sea breeze. Ling Qingheng's complexion turned darker, but his figure was not thinner. Qi, but a little more mature and capable.
Ling Qingheng respectfully bowed to Shen Ying and said, "Cao Min, I ask the emperor to bow to Jin An."
"I'm safe." Shen Ying walked over to personally support Ling Qingheng, asked the little eunuch to move a chair for Ling Qingheng and serve tea, and then said, "You've worked hard all this way, King Qi is settled down?"
Ling Qingheng said: "Back to the emperor, Cao Min took your edict and sent King Qi to the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom promised to treat King Qi kindly. After Cao Min's persuasion, King Qi also expressed his understanding of your painstaking efforts. Letting go of the past, I will always live in the Wa country in the future, and will never step into the Central Plains again."
Shen Ying nodded with satisfaction, "That's good. Actually, I can't bear to let him leave his hometown at such a young age to live overseas, but his status is special. If he continues to stay in Daying, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have evil intentions in the future." He is only used to fight for power and profit, so it is the best choice to let him leave here. Wa country is a vassal country of Daying, as long as I am in power for a day, Shen Han can live there for a day."
Ling Qingheng said: "The emperor's heart is kind. Before Caomin came back, King Qi also asked Caomin to convey his gratitude to the emperor. I believe that King Qi will live well in the future."
"Okay, after talking about King Qi, let's talk about you." Shen Ying sat down opposite Ling Qingheng, waved her hand to signal Ling Qingheng to drink tea first, and after Ling Qingheng took two sips of tea, she said leisurely, "Qingheng, this time you can You have done a great job in putting down the Du party rebellion, I plan to appoint you as the envoy of the fourth-rank Jinyiwei town, what do you think?"
Ling Qingheng put down the teacup, got up and said: "Your Majesty, Caomin is just a scumbag with no fame and no knowledge of how to be an official. I really dare not accept the emperor's reward. If someone like Caomin becomes an official, I'm afraid There is a debt of grace."
Shen Ying smiled and said: "It's okay if you don't want to work in Jinyiwei, then I will give you a spare job. I won't ask you to do anything, and I won't hold you back. How about it?"
Ling Qingheng still refused to accept the reward on the grounds that he was incompetent. Shen Ying's kindness was repeatedly refuted, and he couldn't help but turn cold, and slapped the teacup in his hand on the table in a lukewarm manner. Authentic: "Qingheng, since you were willing to be loyal to me, you have indeed helped me do a lot of things. You have contributed a lot to being able to take power now. I intend to reward you, but you keep refusing, which makes it very difficult for me. I don't doubt your purpose of doing things for me. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the court, who does things for me without selfishness? Those who ask nothing of me, I don't feel at ease when using them, do you understand?"
Ling Qingheng smiled slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, the fact that the grassroots do not accept the official position is not because they do not accept the emperor's kindness, but because the emperor has given the grassroots the greatest reward."
Shen Ying asked bluntly: "Are you saying that I have eradicated the power of Guo Jiuchen's party? But after all, I have not liquidated them, nor have I helped you who were persecuted by the eunuch party to reverse the case, what kind of reward is this? Do you know? If I want to kill Guo Jiuchen now, it is as easy as crushing an ant on the ground. The reason why I keep his life is because I have not forgotten the promise I made to you. Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise. But Ling Qingheng, you should tell me your real identity, right?"
Ling Qingheng was a little surprised when he heard the words, "So the emperor doesn't know the identity of Cao Min?"
Shen Ying frowned, and looked at Ling Qingheng strangely, "You are speaking strangely, should I know? Although I have doubts about your origin, I have always been suspicious of people, so I never thought of investigating you in private. Don't you think that I will be the kind of double-faced person?"
Ling Qingheng hurriedly said: "The grass people dare not! It's the grass people who think that Gu Shaojun should have already told the emperor about the grass people."
Shen Ying was taken aback for a moment: "...You said that Junshu knows your identity?" After a pause, she suddenly realized, "You two know each other?"
Shen Ying's hand on the desk was silently clenched. Fortunately, he always thought that the protagonist, Gong Shou, had no chance to meet because of him being a hindrance. As a result, the two had already had a private relationship behind his back? !Gu Min hadn't told him yet!It's really unreasonable!
Ling Qingheng knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people have just returned, and they haven't understood the situation in Beijing yet. I just heard that the Emperor is relying on Gu Shaojun very much now. In addition, the Emperor and Gu Shaojun have gone through life and death together, so I thought that Gu Shaojun would kill him." Confidentially tell the emperor about his life experience."
"He did tell me about his life experience, but," Shen Ying raised her eyebrows and sneered, "what does this have to do with you?"
Ling Qingheng straightened his upper body, looked directly at Shen Ying, and said sonorously: "Please forgive Cao Min for the crime of bullying the king. In fact, Ling is not Cao Min's real surname. Cao Min's real surname is Shu, but the son of the late Shu Guogong Shu Yan!"
Shen Ying was shocked by Ling Qingheng's words for a moment, she never expected that Ling Qingheng is now the queen of the Shu family!
Then it's no wonder that Ling Qingheng is the protagonist of the original book. He and Gu Min have a similar life experience, and they also bear blood and deep feuds. They are also like-minded, and it is reasonable that they will come together in the end.
Shen Ying couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't accidentally traveled into this novel, would Gu Min have fallen in love with Ling Qingheng like the original plot development?Especially after knowing that Gu Min and Ling Qingheng had known each other for a long time, he was even more curious. How does Gu Min feel about Ling Qingheng now?
"It turns out that one of you is a descendant of the Xu family, and the other is a descendant of the Shu family." Shen Ying calmed down, tried to pretend not to care, and asked lightly, "Then how did you and Gu Min know each other?"
Ling Qingheng said: "Back to the emperor, a friend of Cao Min was unfortunately caught by the Jin Yiwei for robbing Guo Jiuchen's birthday gift. That's why Gu Shaojun found Cao Min through that person. That's how we met."
Shen Ying continued to ask coldly: "Since you have known each other early, why didn't you tell me?"
Ling Qingheng smiled helplessly, and said: "Forgive me, Your Majesty. After both Gu Shaojun and I are 'conspiracy sinners', we really can't afford to expose our identities, especially when the Emperor was still held hostage by Empress Dowager Liu, so we don't Dare to tell the emperor rashly, lest the emperor be implicated by us."
Shen Ying sneered: "Then why are you willing to say it now?"
Ling Qingheng said with emotion: "Because Caomin knows that the emperor is a wise monarch, he will definitely see through the details, set things right, and return justice to Empress Xu, Prince Zhaohuai, and Xu Shu!"
Shen Ying patted the table and stood up, walked in front of Ling Qingheng, looked down at him, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, "Ling Qingheng, you are very smart. But if you think that you are the only smart person in the world, you are very wrong. !"
Ling Qingheng hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground: "Caomin dare not!"
"Don't you dare?" Shen Ying snorted coldly, "Just now when I asked you about your background, you deliberately involved Jun Shu, just to test whether I know Jun Shu's real identity. If I know, you will be like the one just now." Let me be honest, but if I don’t know, then Junshu will become your shield. You know that I love Junshu and will not do anything to him. Another point, if Junshu hasn’t revealed his true identity yet, you can say it now Coming out is to force me to make a choice between helping the Xu Shu family to reverse the case or not. Ling Qingheng, no, Shu Qingheng, do you think I guessed your mind correctly?"
Ling Qingheng remained silent, but he did not defend himself, and silence represented the answer.
Shen Ying stepped aside, "My aunt thinks that you are a descendant of the Shu family, and you have done a lot of things for me, so I don't care about your words and deeds today, but you should remember, it is your ability to be good at understanding people's hearts , but don't try to figure out what I'm thinking, the majesty of the king is unpredictable, and you can't bear the consequences of the emperor's anger."
Ling Qingheng said loudly: "Caomin thank the emperor for your instruction!"
Shen Ying said indifferently: "You step back."
Ling Qingheng stood up, bowed his head and walked out backwards. The moment he turned around and put down the curtain, a sly smile appeared on his tense face. He was not afraid of the emperor's questioning of him. As long as he could help the Shu family For the purpose of cleaning up his grievances, he doesn't care about anything.
—
Gu Min got off duty and entered the palace, before he reached the gate of Yongle Palace, a young eunuch hurried over and bowed his head and whispered a few words to him.
When Gu Min heard this, his expression changed suddenly.
What the little eunuch said was that Ling Qingheng had met Shen Ying when he entered the palace in the morning. Shen Ying came out of the imperial study and returned to Yongle Palace with a dark face. Now everyone in Yongle Palace could see that the emperor was angry. Don't dare to take a breath.
Even if Gu Mindang guessed what was going on, he was probably betrayed by Ling Qingheng.
Gu Min didn't deliberately hide Shen Ying's matter about Ling Qingheng from Shen Ying. The reason why he didn't say anything was because Shen Ying would be angry if he found out that he and Ling Qingheng had a private relationship. Let the emperor know that he is a descendant of the Shu family, and let Ling Qingheng decide whether to tell the emperor when he comes back.
But Gu Min did not expect that Ling Qingheng not only recruited himself as a descendant of the Shu family, but also recruited their private contacts. Ling Qingheng "stabbed" in the back?
The matter has come to this point, it is useless to worry about who betrayed the other, let's think about how to coax Shen Ying first.
Gu Min entered Yongle Palace anxiously, Shen Ying was looking through the account books sent by the household department after the case, five years of account books, two baskets couldn't fit, the stack was higher than others, there were so many accounts, he was dazzled, he was so dazzled. One head is bigger than two, and their faces are even more stinky.
"Your Majesty." Gu Min walked over carrying the teapot, and graciously changed Shen Ying for a cup of tea.
When Shen Ying heard the voice, she knew it was Gu Min. She fixed her eyes on the words on the ledger without lifting her eyes, "Here we come."
Gu Min said with concern: "I heard from the servants that the emperor has been reading the account book all afternoon. It's getting late. Be careful that the candlelight hurts your eyes. Why don't you read it tomorrow?"
Shen Ying flipped through the account book in her hand, and said with a sneer, "Tomorrow will be tomorrow, and there will be so many tomorrows. If you wait until tomorrow to do everything, what can you do?"
Gu Min knew it well, sure enough, Shen Ying was upset at seeing him now, and she was making excuses.
Gu Min walked to Shen Ying's side, picked up an account book on the table, "The minister will read it with the emperor."
Shen Ying quickly reached out and snatched the account book that Gu Mingang was holding, and said angrily, "Who wants you to read it with me? This is the account book of the Ministry of Accounts, can it be read casually by others?"
Gu Min patiently said: "The minister doesn't look at it, I just stand here and accompany the emperor."
Shen Ying looked up at Gu Min and sneered: "Who wants you to accompany me? I said I want someone to accompany me? Are you idle and have nothing to do? Can't you find something to do?"
Gu Min raised his brows calmly, wanting to argue with him every sentence, it seems that today's anger is really not small.
At this time, taking the initiative to admit mistakes is the best policy.
Gu Min bowed to Shen Ying, "Your majesty calm down, it's my fault, I shouldn't have kept Ling Qingheng from you."
Only then did Shen Ying slap the account book in her hand on the table, squinted at Gu Min, and deliberately said in a eccentric way: "What's wrong with you? Of course you can't tell me about Ling Qingheng's old background, so can't you highlight your deep love and righteousness?" ?”
Gu Min stood up straight, and asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, you can say that I am loyal, where did the words "deep affection and righteousness come from?"
Shen Ying sneered and said: "Who knows, you and him have been in private contact for so long without telling me, who knows how far your friendship has developed?"
Gu Min sensed the sourness in Shen Ying's words, and suddenly understood a little bit, a little surprised and a little surprised, "Your Majesty, are you jealous of Ling Qingheng?"
Shen Ying slapped the table, snorted and said: "Joke! How could I be jealous of a defeated general? In terms of looks and IQ, how can he compare with me? But I can warn you, I can't rub sand in my eyes, you If you dare to be ambiguous with other people, then pack your bags and leave the palace as soon as possible!"
He also said that he was not jealous, and the sour taste was almost soaring.
Gu Min never expected that Ling Qingheng would make Shen Ying jealous for him, which meant that Shen Ying cared about him very much. Thinking about it this way, Ling Qingheng didn't seem so hateful anymore.
Gu Min suppressed the secret joy in his heart, stretched out his hand to hold Shen Ying's hand, and said with a smile: "The emperor knows, I have never been ambiguous with anyone, except you."
Shen Ying raised her chin haughtily, "Who will believe what you say without proof?"
Gu Min sincerely raised his other hand and said, "I can swear."
As soon as Shen Ying heard that Gu Min was about to swear, she was finally willing to look him in the eye, and said in a deep voice, "Then you can swear 'If Gu Min hadn't met Shen Ying, I would never have liked Ling Qingheng'!"
Gu Min put down his hand and shook his head, "That won't work."
Seeing Gu Min's refusal, Shen Ying couldn't help being angry, she pulled her hand out of Gu Min's hand, pointed at Gu Min with a cold face and said, "Okay, Gu Junshu! I knew you were against Ling Qingheng..."
Gu Min stretched out his hand to hold Shen Ying's wrist, pulled him into his arms, and said with a low smile against Shen Ying's ear, "I don't want to swear because the previous assumption is not true. I can swear that I will never like Ling Qingheng." , but I can't if I haven't met you."
The author has something to say: Ling Qingheng: Are you young lovers dating gwps?
