Datang traitor

Zhou Xiaolu quickly ran out to open the door. The moment she saw Qin Yuan, she was a little surprised. The way she expressed her surprise was to stare at Qin Yuan with a very calm face.But in Qin Qiong's view, this is the reaction of 'Saturday Mother is very cold and rejects his brother'.

Qin Qiong simply couldn't understand that his brother wanted to have a good appearance, a good figure, a good status, and he had such a powerful big brother as a backer, how excellent he was.

Look at this little girl in front of her, she is not very tall, she doesn't even reach her shoulders, her appearance is ordinary, if you have to pick a good one, she might be a little more attractive and a little bit smarter, but such a woman is popular in the whole Tang Dynasty. Grab a handful.Look at the place where she lives, the small family, so inconspicuous, and finally the clothes and figure, flat... flat!

"You are Saturday's mother? You followed my brother to Shangzhou?" Qin Qiong's eagle eyes showed hostility, and his tone was even more aggressive, just like a posture of fighting against injustice.

Zhou Xiaolu turned her eyes indifferently, glanced at Qin Qiong, and then nodded lightly.

"Hehe!" Qin Qiong's eyes widened. This girl is quite powerful, and she didn't change her expression when facing his questioning.Qin Qiong rolled up her sleeves and wanted to have a theory with this little girl, but was suddenly pushed aside by Qin Yuan behind her.

"Why are you blocking me?" Qin Yuan asked Qin Qiong to stand aside, and then walked across to Xiaolu.

Qin Qiong was killed on the spot, so she could only look helpless and took a deep breath, her brother was hopeless.He just hurt him, and he doesn't have a long memory, so when we meet again, he goes to him again.Qin Qiong took a deep breath again, he didn't want this worthless brother anymore.

"Brother Qin." Zhou Xiaolu bowed to him guiltily and nodded.

"I found someone laying Gu in my residence, there are many kinds." Qin Yuan said.

Zhou Xiaolu hurriedly asked Qin Yuan if he was okay.

"Does Gu Changhuang have any accomplices?" Qin Yuan asked straight to the point, ignoring Zhou Xiaolu's concern.

Zhou Xiaolu knew that Qin Yuan was still angry with him and asked him to wait a moment.Zhou Xiaolu immediately ran back to the house and handed a booklet to Qin Yuan.The cover of the booklet was blank, with nothing written on it.

Qin Yuan glanced over and saw many names.He immediately understood that Zhou Xiaolu had given him the roster of the Alien League.Looking at the paper and ink, it should be written not long ago, and there is still a faint smell of ink on the booklet.

"I'm sorry." Zhou Xiaolu bowed to Qin Yuan again.

Seeing this scene, Qin Qiong was puzzled, and re-examined the situation of the two of them.This Saturday, Niang's face was still pale, and she couldn't see any joys or sorrows. Qin Yuan held the booklet with a complicated expression, as if his heart was softening.

At this time, Qin Yuan suddenly turned his head and asked Qin Qiong to avoid it, it is best to go far away.

Qin Qiong retreated a few steps helplessly, seeing that Qin Yuan was still looking at him, she took a few steps back, but the steps were significantly smaller than before.He was worried about his silly brother.

"Aren't you afraid that I will harm them?" Qin Yuan turned his head and asked Zhou Xiaolu in a low voice.

"I believe Brother Qin is a good person, and I also believe that you will definitely not hurt good people. If any of them do evil, Brother Qin will arrest you." Zhou Xiaolu hesitated for a while, lowered his head and said, "I'm really sorry about what happened before. I am used to being on the defensive when I am alone. I am not sure whether Brother Qin is trustworthy, and the situation of the Yiren League is very special, so I did not disclose everything to Brother Qin. I speak half-truths and half-falsely, not sincerely, Qin Although the eldest brother was suspicious, he still helped me find the murderer who killed my mother, and repay the grievance with virtue."

Zhou Xiaolu burst into tears as she spoke, and apologized to Qin Yuan again.

"Brother Qin, if you need me in the future, you can come to me, and I will die."

Qin Yuan didn't say anything, just replied politely, telling Zhou Xiaolu to take care, turned around and got on the horse, and returned home with Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong didn't know what Qin Yuan and Saturday's mother were discussing in private, but saw that Saturday's mother gave something to Qin Yuan, bowed repeatedly, and cried, and then Qin Yuan called herself to go together.

After returning home, Qin Qiong grabbed Qin Yuan and asked him what was going on.

"You said you wanted to ask someone who knew if Gu Changhuang had any accomplices, but you went to find Liu Niang. At first, Liu Niang reacted calmly when she saw you, but suddenly gave you a booklet, bowed and shed tears, but you were indifferent Immediately pulled me away." Qin Qiong couldn't figure out what was going on, and asked Qin Yuan to explain to him, he felt that there was something wrong here.

Qin Yuan can't tell Qin Qiong about the Alien League. If it is true what Saturday's mother said, there are many good people in the Yiren League.If Qin Qiong and the others found out about it and felt it was a threat, they would probably discuss and destroy the Alien League. That matter must have been out of his control.

"In your opinion, what's the matter with us?" Qin Yuan didn't think of a reason to explain for a while, so he asked Qin Qiong first, so as to give himself time to think about the reason.

Qin Qiong thought about it for a while, and said to Qin Yuan: "You can't help but want to see her, and you are afraid that I will stop you, so you just took something that someone knows Gu Changhuang's accomplices to fool me, in order to run away secretly, but unexpectedly I followed her .As for the thing in your hand, could it be the token of love you gave her before? Did she give it back to you?"

"I can't help but want to see her? A token of love?" Qin Yuan frowned and looked at Qin Qiong, wanting to ask what was going on in his head.At this time, Qin Qiong spoke one step ahead of Qin Yuan.

"Forget it, I won't hide it from you, I know it all. Wen Yanbo wrote to tell me that you were emotionally hurt and that you were cheated by a woman named Saturday Mother when you were in Shangzhou."

Qin Yuan immediately explained: "You misunderstood."

"Is it true that you were cheated by her?"

Qin Yuan nodded, "I was cheated, but it's not what you think."

Qin Qiong felt that Qin Yuan was looking for excuses to prevaricate himself out of concern for face, so he patted the table helplessly, hating Qin Yuan for not being up to date, "Then what do you think is going on? You wanted to find Gu Changhuang's accomplice, but you went to see Saturday Mother, Saturday Mother also gave you a booklet, crying and bowing to you and apologizing."

"I—" Qin Yuan froze for a moment, touched his nose feigning embarrassment, and could only suppress a smile, "Okay, you saw it through."

"That's right, manly man, admit it frankly, what's the matter. If you don't go to the old one, you won't come to the new one!" Qin Qiong patted Qin Yuan's shoulder domineeringly, telling him to quickly forget Saturday Mother.He had some beauties in his backyard that he could choose from if he wanted to.

Official prostitutes were very common in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, this kind of prostitutes were official prostitutes. They went up to the three gongs and nine qings down to the county magistrates and small officials.It is normal for officials to give beauties to their colleagues for a moment.Even when there are gatherings and banquets, everyone will bring their own ones at home and exchange them with each other.

So at the moment, Qin Qiong said that sending Qin Yuan backyard beauties was just a very common act.

Seeing that Qin Yuan didn't make a sound, Qin Qiong thought he was disgusted, and said, "There are newcomers, I haven't even touched them before."

"No." After Qin Yuan resolutely refused, he saw Qin Qiong's expression of "why" and looked at himself, and explained to Qin Qiong, "Just treat me as if I have a deep love."

"Stupid! People don't bother to care about you, and you still can't think about it." Qin Qiong scolded Qin Yuan very hard, but couldn't figure it out. A girl from an ordinary family actually bullied a dignified fourth-rank official of the imperial court. so.

Seeing Qin Qiong's thoughts moved, Qin Yuan hurriedly added a warning: "Don't bully her, as long as you know where she lives, don't spread it out, don't tell anyone."

Finally, under Qin Yuan's pressure, Qin Qiong reluctantly nodded and agreed, promising not to leak Zhou Xiaolu's residence.

Qin Qiong is a trustworthy gentleman, as long as he promises, he will definitely keep his promise.

Qin Yuan was naturally not worried, stretched his waist, pretended to be sleepy, and went back to his room to rest, but actually went to carefully study the list given to him by Zhou Xiaolu.Qin Yuan felt that Zhou Xiaolu should not have lied to her this time.But out of caution, Qin Yuan decided to secretly investigate whether the contents on the roster were true.

The front of the booklet introduces the Alien League. This organization originated in the Han Dynasty. At first, a few strange people met by chance and got together. Later, they discovered that there are many people like them in this world, and gradually grew from a dozen people to dozens. In the end, there are hundreds of people.There are two sources of membership: Some people are inherited from the family, and they have known the Alien League since childhood, and they are members of the Alien League.There are also some people who have been selected by the old members and joined after passing the assessment.

Qin Yuan remembered that Zhou Xiaolu once said that Bairan, who was good at disguise, was in the investigation period of joining the Alien League, but was used by Wang Zhengde, the rudder leader of the Chang'an sub-helm.

Qin Yuan continued to read the brochure. In addition to explaining the coming of the Alien League, he also explained that the purpose of establishing the Alien League is to enable strange people to help each other.This statement is consistent with what Zhou Xiaolu told him before.

On the next page, a person's name was written: Zhou Yun, leader of the Alien League.

Zhou Yun is Zhou Xiaolu's father.

After this page is the list, introducing the rudder masters of various places and the members of the Alien League.Qin Yuan was not familiar with the above names, until he browsed to Chang'an sub-rudder, Qin Yuan found Wang Zhengde, Gu Changhuang, Xu An, and Dou Shi, the bustard of Ruyifang.There are only two people left in the Chang'an branch, one is Fang Ding and the other is Sui Fengyun.

Fang Ding, this name is too familiar to Qin Yuan. The official that Qin Yuan made friends with when he was in Hongwen Museum was called Fang Ding. Before that, Fang Ding's family was poisoned by toad in the case of Gu Changhuang.

Is it the same name?Or is it him?Qin Yuan is not sure, it seems that he has time to meet Fang Ding.

After Qin Yuan put away the roster, he changed his clothes and went to bed early.The matter of the Alien League is not the most important thing at the moment, what is important is that he is going to meet the Supreme Emperor tomorrow.

In late spring, there are peanut trees and birds flying through the forest.

Early in the morning, Qin Yuan was awakened by chirping birds.After Qin Yuan stretched himself, he sat on the couch wrapped in a quilt and stayed there for a while. When his stomach growled, he was completely refreshed and went to check the harvest of the farm.

Qin Yuan was shocked when he saw the green melons all over the farm.

When looking at the harvest yesterday, he sighed with emotion: "It's very welcome."

When looking at the harvest today, he still wanted to sigh: "Extreme joy begets sorrow."

For some reason yesterday, Li Shimin suddenly felt bad again. The farm had just experienced the sweetness of sugarcane, and then came a wave of bitter gourd that was so bitter to the heart.

Spicy represents Li Shimin's anger, sweet represents Li Shimin's happiness, and bitter represents Li Shimin's depression and pain.

I don't know what happened suddenly, which made Li Shimin feel so bitter in his heart.

With a sad face on Qin Yuan's face, Qin Qiong came after he finished his bitter gourd breakfast without any regrets.

Qin Qiong saw Qin Yuan showing such a miserable face as if he couldn't live anymore, sighed angrily and urgently, and scolded Qin Yuan for being worthless, really worthless.

Qin Yuan was already depressed because of eating bitter gourd, but suddenly he was scolded by Qin Qiong again, annoyed, and immediately jumped to ask him what he meant.

Seeing him standing up slowly, Qin Qiong knew that Qin Yuan was going crazy again, so she stood up cooperatively.Qin Qiong tapped Qin Yuan's forehead fiercely with his hand, and warned him word by word: "You are just worthless! Sad for a woman, silly!"

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, lost his momentum, and sat back obediently.

"Oh."

"Oh, what do you mean? What about your aura just now? Are you resigned to your fate? I scolded you just now, you should retort and tell me fiercely, you are not the kind of person I said, you have already forgotten that heartless Saturday mother Already!" Qin Qiong said excitedly.

"I didn't forget."

Qin Yuan lowered his head and tugged at the skirt of his clothes, holding "Da Tang Entrepreneurial Daily Note" to say goodbye to Qin Qiong.

"You don't have breakfast?" Qin Qiong just remembered that he came to ask Qin Yuan to eat with him.

"Don't eat." Qin Yuan waved his hand and walked away very quickly.

This time it was Qin Qiong who jumped, "You don't even eat breakfast for the sake of a woman! Qin Yuan, you are really worthless. You are really embarrassing to our old Qin family, and to your eldest brother!"

Qin Yuan still walked at the same speed as before, and the figure quickly left the yard and disappeared from Qin Qiong's sight.

Qin Qiong was so angry that she didn't eat breakfast, and rode straight to Wen's mansion to complain to Wen Yanbo.

Wen Yanbo heard from Qin Qiong that Qin Yuan couldn't help but went to find Saturday's mother last night, and he was sad all night, and he was still frowning this morning.Wen Yanbo shook his head repeatedly, sighing that there was nothing he could do.

"If you can't ask for it, you can't sleep and think about it. You are leisurely and leisurely, tossing and turning." Wen Yanbo recited a line from "The Book of Songs", and told Qin Qiong that Qin Yuan is in this state now, because he feels uncomfortable because he can't ask for it, and he is obsessed when he thinks about it day and night.

"Then what should we do?" Qin Qiong asked Wen Yanbo to come up with an idea quickly.

Wen Yanbo shook his head: "What ideas can I have? This kind of thing is all up to him. After a long time and it fades away, he will naturally forget about it."

"I don't think so! Didn't you see his expression sitting alone in the room this morning." Qin Qiong sighed, "It's very uncomfortable, with a bitter look on his face. I think I, the eldest brother, should help him. I'll make a few It might be good to try to seduce him with a beauty, and divert his attention."

"No, he's not casual. If he can't do well, he might be even more angry." Wen Yanbo shook his head, disapproving.

"It's okay to be angry, and it's better to be angry than to look sad. It's not bad for him to vent his anger on me and not think about that woman." Qin Qiong patted his chest, expressing to Wen Yanliang that he was willing to sacrifice himself.

Seeing that Qin Qiong insisted on this, Wen Yanbo had no choice but to wish him good luck.

……

After Qin Yuan came out of the General's Mansion, he went directly to Da'an Palace to see Li Yuan.

After the palace servant passed the message to Li Yuan, he immediately came to reply.

"The Supreme Emperor said that he didn't want to see Qin Shaoqing, please ask Qin Shaoqing to come back." The eunuch said.

"The sage asked me to deliver important things to the Supreme Emperor today. I have to see the Supreme Emperor, so please tell me again." Qin Yuan said politely and politely to the eunuch.

The eunuch looked at Qin Yuan helplessly, with a face full of rejection, but he endured it, turned around and passed on again.

After a while, another eunuch came back, and he told Qin Yuan with a relaxed face: "I pleaded for Qin Shaoqing Qin, and finally persuaded the Supreme Emperor to agree to see you."

Qin Yuan quickly thanked the eunuch.

"The slave's name is Zheng Xin. If Qin Shaoqing holds a high position in the future and gets a chance, don't forget to support the slave." Zheng Xin half-jokingly said.

Qin Yuan nodded.

Zheng Xin chuckled again, before sending Qin Yuan to the main hall, he reminded Qin Yuan in a low voice that he should be more careful when going to see him.

Qin Yuan always felt that there was something wrong with the eunuch's attitude, but he was finally able to see Li Yuan and get things done.

After Qin Yuan entered the main hall, he immediately felt that the atmosphere in the hall was very oppressive.Li Yuan sat on the top seat with a serious face and stared at him unkindly.

Qin Yuan saluted, but Li Yuan didn't say anything to make him calm down.

Qin Yuan simply explained all the intentions of coming here, and presented "Da Tang Entrepreneurial Daily Notes".And told Li Yuan that this was his birthday gift presented on behalf of Li Shimin.While talking about how much effort this book took from writing to completion, he praised Li Shimin for his filial piety and carefully prepared gifts.

Li Yuan snorted coldly.

"It's just a broken book. There's no need to say so many good words to describe it. He also said filial piety. Why didn't he give it to me on my birthday? Why didn't he give it in person and let you do it? It's obviously perfunctory! You are mad at me!" Li Yuan glared at Qin Yuan again.

"I thought that the sage sent his ministers to give this congratulatory gift to the Supreme Emperor. It was precisely because the sage was filial and out of consideration for the Supreme Emperor that he made this decision." Qin Yuan replied cautiously.

Li Yuan's eyes were not friendly, he stared at Qin Yuan silently for a long time, then suddenly he laughed.But his smile was not real pleasure, but a mockery.

"Qin Yuan, are you an idiot for being a widow? Or are you an idiot yourself?" Li Yuan scolded.

"I'm not a fool." Just as Qin Yuan finished speaking, Li Yuan's face suddenly turned black, and Qin Yuan then added, "The Supreme Emperor is wise."

"According to what you think, if you are wise and you are not stupid, then your saint is stupid." Li Yuan said.

"The sage is wise and powerful." Qin Yuan said hastily.

Li Yuan snorted coldly: "Apart from flattering your sage, what else would you do? I think not only he is stupid, but you are also stupid. He even dared to offer me something. Last time I wished I could kill you. You escaped, and today you just came to your door. Come!"

"The emperor, the reason why the saint sent his ministers to present the birthday gift is because the saint knew that the emperor did not like to see him, and the second reason was that he had offended the saints of the emperor and made the emperor unhappy, so he ordered his ministers to apologize to the emperor."

Li Yuan couldn't help but sneered again, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Yuan: "What else can you say with this mouth, if you only rely on these few words, you won't be able to convince me at all. You should just wait for death and turn around If my son is really filial, he won't think about me killing you."

Qin Yuan was not frightened by being threatened by Li Yuan, and continued to explain in a gentle manner.

"The saint's filial piety can be learned from heaven and earth! Please think about it, the Supreme Emperor. If a saint came to Da'an Palace to present the "Da Tang Entrepreneurship Daily Note" to the Supreme Emperor in person today, how would it be written in the history books? How would it be in the eyes of the people of the world? Everyone will praise the saint's filial piety.

But the sage didn't do that, and asked Chen to give the book in a low-key manner.He was able to make this decision and think about it so far precisely because he understood the feelings of the Supreme Emperor and obeyed the wishes of the Supreme Emperor.The minister thinks that this is the real filial piety, not the filial piety of doing superficial efforts to seek superficial fame.I implore the wise and mighty Supreme Emperor to understand the saint's painstaking efforts and filial piety. "

Li Yuan stared at Qin Yuan for a long time, and also remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he said sharply, "Go away."

Qin Yuan thanked him and wanted to leave.

Li Yuan suddenly changed his mind and told Qin Yuan to stop.

"The Emperor!" Qin Yuan saluted again.

"I heard that you are very popular with the emperor, but today I saw how powerful your mouth is." Li Yuan got up suddenly, walked up to Qin Yuan, and asked Qin Yuan to go out with him.

Qin Yuan obeyed and obediently followed behind Li Yuan.

"You mentioned the emperor in front of me several times just now, don't think I don't understand your mind. You are reminding me of it, thinking that I can't kill you."

"I dare not." Qin Yuan replied respectfully.

"I really can't kill you," Li Yuan sighed, "Even if I ordered you to be killed, he will not let you go, and you will not die. But if you think that I will let you go like this, you are completely wrong."

Qin Yuan was listening quietly, he knew that the reason why Li Yuan told him these things must be for something later and for a purpose.

"I can torture you slowly. If I promise the emperor and give him the reputation of filial piety that he wants, I will go if he wants me to go to any meritorious banquet in the future. You will be the only one who comes to accompany me. You said it's a good deal Will he agree to the matter? The Tang Dynasty is so big, there are many talents, you are talented, and you are not unique, he is willing to bear you." Li Yuan said, squinting at Qin Yuan, "But I can also Let you go, as long as you promise to do one thing for me."

"It's my honor to be with the Supreme Emperor!" Qin Yuan saluted respectfully, which was equivalent to directly rejecting Li Yuan's proposal.

Seeing that he was not threatened by him, Li Yuan snorted coldly and smiled again.

"It's his blessing to have a subject like you, so let's go."

Qin Yuan saluted again and then left.

Others may not know it, but Qin Yuan knows very well that everything in Da'an Palace is actually under Li Shimin's control.It is very likely that every word he said to Li Yuan today will be known to Li Shimin later.Even Li Yuan himself said that even if he ordered to kill himself, he might not die.

What Li Yuan said to him just now was actually for Li Shimin's eyes and ears in Da'an Palace.Qin Yuan knew that Li Yuan wanted to take revenge on himself, so he wanted to take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between Li Shimin and himself.Once Qin Yuan was afraid and moved his mind to ask what condition Li Yuan proposed, then things would go in a completely different direction.He will definitely not be reused by Li Shimin from now on.

Yesterday Li Shimin ordered him to come to Da'an Palace to give congratulatory gifts, Qin Yuan knew that Li Shimin was deliberately testing him, and was always on guard.Maybe Li Shimin moved his mind and wanted to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, so he wanted to see if he could pass Li Yuan's "calculation".

All of today's events were almost within Li Shimin's expectations.The emperor's heart is indeed unfathomable, but luckily the ruler he held was long enough.

After Qin Yuan came out of Da'an Palace, he went to Liangyi Hall to meet Li Shimin for his return.When he arrived, there were twelve ministers in Liangyi Hall discussing with Li Shimin about the drought in the pass.Qin Yuan waited outside, listening to the constant discussions in the room, and after talking for a long time, it was obvious that the drought was severe this time.This is why Li Shimin is suffering.

Man-made disasters can be avoided, but natural disasters cannot be avoided, so it is naturally troublesome to deal with them.

After two sticks of incense, the twelve ministers finally finished their discussions with Li Shimin and retreated one after another.Qin Yuan roughly glanced at them, they were all important officials in the court, left and right servants, Sangong Jiuqing and Shangshu.Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others didn't notice Qin Yuan who was standing next to him, they left in a hurry, as if they had important things to do.Changsun Wuji was the last one to come out. At this time, everyone had basically disappeared, and Qin Yuan standing on the side was naturally more conspicuous.

Changsun Wuji remembered that Qin Yuan was going to give Li Yuan a congratulatory gift today, seeing that he was not missing any arms or legs, he felt relieved.He nodded to Qin Yuan, and then left.At this time, the eunuch Zhang De went to Xuan Qinyuan to see him.

Looking at the ministers who left in a hurry, Qin Yuan knew that Li Shimin was in a very bad mood now.Thinking about the taste of bitter gourd this morning, and thinking about the hardships he would have to eat in the next noon and evening, Qin Yuan's ambition was ready to move.He has to make Li Shimin happy and rely on his own strength to improve tomorrow's food.

Li Shimin was rubbing his temples with his hands due to a headache, when he saw Qin Yuan coming in, he put down his hands, his serious face slightly loosened.

"Is it finished?"

"Yes, the Supreme Emperor likes His Majesty's congratulatory gift very much." After saluting, Qin Yuan replied briefly.

Li Shimin snorted in disbelief, then looked at Qin Yuan, and asked him what he had said to the Supreme Emperor.

Qin Yuan: "When the Supreme Emperor was puzzled at first, he was a little annoyed. Later, the minister told the Supreme Emperor what His Majesty wanted, and the Supreme Emperor understood, and let him go."

"Oh, is that so?" Seeing Qin Yuan's polite reply, Li Shimin naturally didn't believe that things would be as simple as Qin Yuan said.

He immediately turned his eyes and gestured to the eunuch Zhang De.Not long afterward, the eunuch named Zheng Xin in Da'an Palace came to visit and recounted the whole process of Qin Yuan's meeting with Li Yuan.

When Li Shimin heard that Qin Yuan was actually arguing with Li Yuan, he still praised himself, couldn't help holding back his laughter, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"How dare you say that the Supreme Emperor doesn't like to see me?" Li Shimin suddenly asked Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan saluted Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor really doesn't like to see you, let alone his ministers, very, very disliked to see them."

Qin Yuan deliberately repeated and emphasized a sentence at the end of his words.

After all, Li Shimin couldn't hold back, he burst out laughing, he patted his thigh, turned his head and sighed to the eunuch Zhang De, "Why do you feel so good every time I see him?"

"It's very rare for Qin Shaoqing to understand Sacred Heart." Zhang De replied respectfully.

Li Shimin nodded in agreement.When Qin Yuan faced the coercion and temptation of the Supreme Emperor, he never thought of taking refuge in him. Not only did he remain calm, but even when he knew that the Supreme Emperor didn't like him, he still praised him generously as always.It is indeed rare, counting all over the court, there are not many courtiers who can achieve Qin Yuan's level.

"You are really a forgetful grass for the widows." Li Shimin smiled with emotion, and then thought of the drought that he had just worried about, and sighed again.

No matter how happy you are, it will only be for a short while, and the urgent state affairs have not been resolved.

"Your Majesty seems to have something to worry about. I don't know if this Wangyoucao will be curative." Qin Yuan wanted to solve the fundamental problem quickly.

Li Shimin was amused by Qin Yuan again, and then mentioned the drought to Qin Yuan.He told Qin Yuan that he had just discussed the solution with the ministers.However, it may take some time to carry out the actual implementation, and it will not be able to quench the near thirst.

"Drought and locust plagues hit the pass this year. Because of lack of food, many people sold their sons and daughters. Even the price of domestic slaves in Chang'an City was reduced by a lot. I heard that in the disaster-stricken places, ten pennies can buy A child. Such a low price is astonishing, and the common people can’t buy and sell their children for much money, but they are just pitifully filling the hunger for a few days.” Li Shimin was heartbroken, “But if you don’t sell money, the child can’t live. Adults can't survive, so they are forced to take such a method, which is cheaper for those children who dumped slaves."

"It's heartless to earn money from the poor people in the disaster area. It's black-hearted money." Qin Yuan sighed and asked Li Shimin how many children he had sold.

"Tens of thousands." Li Shimin was heartbroken when he mentioned this number.

"Your Majesty, why don't you issue an edict to order the imperial court to redeem those children and return them to their parents. Anyway, the price of these children is not expensive, and the total number is not too much. As for the children who have been taken in, as long as there is an order, What the people want, the people clamored for support, so they couldn't help but not agree. If they don't lose money, they should be thankful." Qin Yuan suggested.

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he sighed that Qin Yuan's words made sense.He immediately ordered the imperial government to send money and silk to redeem the sold children.

The Yufu is the treasury of the emperor, which is different from the national treasury. In other words, it is Li Shimin's own private money. Then this matter becomes that Li Shimin paid for the child in his own name.With such an order, the common people are grateful to Dade, and the local government will definitely not dare to neglect, and those children who take the opportunity to resell their population will never dare to take more money from the emperor, otherwise they will lose their lives.

Qin Yuan admired Li Shimin very much, this method is better than the imperial court's money he proposed.Because the imperial court handles affairs, if the above pressure is suppressed, there is suspicion of coercion.Li Shimin's use of his own money will move people more, and at the same time, it will make those boys "voluntarily" solve this matter more perfectly, leaving only a reputation of benevolence and virtuousness, so that people can't make mistakes.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart, and praised Li Shimin repeatedly from the bottom of his heart.

Li Shimin was very happy, and he did not forget to give Qin Yuan a credit, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would not have thought of such a good solution. Last year, it was rainy and there were disasters, and this year there was drought. I just came to the throne, and I encountered such things again and again -"

"Why don't your majesty pardon the world and inspire the hearts of the people?" Qin Yuan immediately suggested.

Li Shimin was stunned, patted the table, and praised Qin Yuan's wonderful proposal.

Li Shimin summoned Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji and Hubu Shangshu to discuss again, and he was happy to order people to draw up a decree, so the matter of amnesty for the world was also decided.Afterwards, Li Shimin once again urged them to supervise the distribution of disaster relief food as soon as possible.

After being reminded by Qin Yuan before, Li Shimin's thinking became active, and he also thought of a solution to the problem of the long transportation time of disaster relief food.

"The transportation of grain really takes too long. You can first ask the rich gentry to deliver grain for the country first, and then the court will make up money or grain for them. Those who have done such a good deed should record their names and reward them afterwards." Li Shimin said.

After Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and other ministers heard this method, they were overjoyed and couldn't help making eye contact with each other and laughing.

Wei Zheng knelt down excitedly, kowtowed to Li Shimin, and praised my emperor's wisdom.The rest of the ministers knelt down and took turns praising Li Shimin as a wise king in a prosperous age and a blessing to the people.

Li Shimin was in the top position, looking down at these courtiers who were usually brilliant and eloquent, completely surrendered at his feet, and praised him unanimously. This sense of satisfaction and joy made him feel very refreshed.

"Let's all be flat." Li Shimin sighed happily, and then took a deep look at Qin Yuan who was standing beside him, implying that Qin Yuan would give him another credit.

After the matter was resolved, all the courtiers withdrew from the Hall of Liangyi.

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng couldn't hold back any longer, and praised Qin Yuan's good idea this time.

Qin Yuan said a few words of modesty, guarded against arrogance and impetuosity, and his gentle performance was praised by all the ministers.

Then everyone dispersed, Changsun Wuji patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder, very relieved.

"It seems that my original recommendation was not wrong. Now you are convincing people with your ability."

"Of course, how can you live up to the grandson's respect." In front of Changsun Wuji, Qin Yuan didn't need to pretend, and proudly raised his tail.

Changsun Wuji looked at him like this, and snorted, "Where is this? The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty have made great achievements, and you can't count them together. I warn you, don't be arrogant, you are the one to offend." Great character."

"Got it, got it." Qin Yuan disliked Changsun Wuji as a disappointment, and praised him as if he could save a piece of meat.

Qin Yuan bid farewell to his eldest grandson Wuji, went to Dali Temple to stay for half a day, and then returned home on time.

Dai Zhou, the young minister of Dali Temple, happened to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to hear the case in the afternoon. In the past two days, he was thinking about how he should behave after seeing Qin Yuan. He had been planning for a long time, but he still missed it today.

……

In the evening, Qin Yuan ordered the people from the Qin Mansion to bring hot water into the house, then sent them out, changed his clothes and took a bath, and ate a couple of bitter gourds along the way.

After soaking in the hot water, Qin Yuan felt comfortable all over his body. After eating two bitter gourds, Qin Yuan was about to close his eyes and squint for a while, when he suddenly heard the sound of music playing.

Qin Yuan closed his eyes and didn't want to respond, but the music was getting louder and louder, it seemed that the distance was getting closer and closer, just outside his room!

There were faint sounds of chaotic footsteps.

why so noisy.

Qin Yuan couldn't keep his eyes open, got up angrily, put on his obscene clothes, and opened the window to look out.

On the east side of his yard, there are five people sitting on the ground, holding lutes, drums and other musical instruments in their hands, playing music.There are three naked girls in tulle and low cut, dancing in the yard.One has a pink skirt, oval face, and big eyes; one has a blue skirt, an oval face, and willow-eye brows; the other has a green skirt, a small nose and a small face, with delicate features, fresh and refined, and looks a little like Zhou Xiaolu.

Qin Yuan immediately understood what was going on, opened the window and shouted: "Qin—— Qiong!"
