To The Land of Nevernight

After Xu Wu's words fell, there was an uproar in Zichen Hall.

Zhao Fu sat on the dragon chair, he leaned slightly, and looked at the powerful officials under the jade steps.After a long time, he said in a slow voice: "Why does Xu Qing think it's not right?"

Xu Wei is still so calm and introverted, he is always without sadness or joy, and stays out of everything.When Ji Xiang was still in office, Xu Wei was the most popular among the four ministers.Tang Shen had been under Xu Wei for a year or so, and he had to admit that Xu Xiang behaved elegantly and generously, and he never felt sorry for him.

Don't talk about Tang Shen, even Zhao Fu didn't think that Xu Wei would be the first to stand up and object.

No matter who it is, it should not be Xu Wei.He is never the one who fights or grabs, who doesn't make the limelight.

Wang Qin looked down at the gold bricks in the hall. Beside him, Xu Xiang said in a peaceful voice: "The Yinyin Division has been established for more than three years, but the Yinqi Village of the Ministry of War has only been established in 36 prefectures since last year. August The flood in the state has just passed, and under the natural disaster, the people have been displaced and the people are in dire straits. At this time, the most important thing to do is to appease the refugees. At this moment, my Song Dynasty is like a tiger whose belly has been gouged out. It is a good thing for the Ministry of War to use it, it makes the three armies happy, and it is convenient for all. But if it is used for tens of millions of Li people, it will cost more than a penny? It is a waste of money. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Wang Qin's voice was gentle: "If you are worried about the shortage of the national treasury, Xu Xiang is too worried. The minister is the Minister of the Ministry of Households. In the ten years since Kaiping in the Song Dynasty, the treasury has been abundant every year. It is used for disaster relief, but it will not damage the national strength."

Xu Wei smiled and said, "Can we talk about manpower?"

Wang Qin turned his head sideways and looked at the other party with clear eyes.

Before Wang Qin could speak, he saw the civil servants at the forefront, and another person stood up.

Zuo Cheng Chen Linghai raised the jade wat in his hand, and said loudly: "I also think that this is impossible."

Tang Shen turned his head abruptly, and looked at Chen Linghai again.

Tang Shen didn't expect that Chen Xiang would be the next one to stand up.If it is said that Xu Xiang was born in a family, and the Yinqizhuang incident in the Song Dynasty affected the interests of the family, he had no choice but to object.Then Chen Xiang was born in a poor family, and the Yinqi Village of the Great Song Dynasty is a great event for the good of the world, how could he speak out against it?

But then Tang Shen thought that, four years ago, when the Right Prime Minister Wang Quan proposed and finally set up the Duzhi Division, Chen Linghai also voiced his opposition.

The two ministers objected, and Wang Qin stood at the front of the group of officials. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu also looked back at him quietly.

The eyes of the monarch and his ministers met, and no one knew what they thought of or what they understood.

Zhao Fu raised his hand and said, "Since that's the case, let's discuss this matter tomorrow."

Ji Fu immediately shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Retire!"

In the Zichen Palace, the officials held the jade wat in their hands, lowered their heads, and waited for the emperor to leave the hall step by step.Tang Shen stood in the queue of third-rank civil servants. Since the emperor left, he was a first-rank minister.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw brand-new official robes passing by his side.Even though they were all wearing the same clothes, Tang Shen recognized Wang Qin at a glance.

When walking past Tang Shen, Wang Qin did not slow down.With a calm expression, he left Zichen Palace calmly.

The moment the dazzling sunlight left the palace gate, it swayed straight down.Wang Zifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was not used to the suddenly bright world.After he saw it clearly, he saw not far away, the left minister Xu Wei put his hands together in front of his abdomen, standing at the bottom of the steps, looking up at him with a smile.

The two looked at each other in the air for a moment, Wang Qin walked down the steps, slightly bowed and said, "Xu Xiang."

Xu Wu also made a bow and said, "President Wang."

It seemed that the two of them were not the ones who confronted each other in the Zichen Palace just now, but now the two walked out of the palace together.Because of Xu's old age, his back was quite hunched, standing beside Wang Zifeng, he felt a little shorter.With a kind smile on his face, he sighed softly, and said, "President Wang thinks that I don't want to see the establishment of Dasong Yinqi Village?"

Wang Qin showed a surprised expression: "Why does Xu Xiang think so? What you said is not completely unreasonable."

Xu Wei: "The old man once heard Xianzhi talk about Yinqizhuang. Xianzhi is in charge of Jiangnan Yinyin Division. How can I not know that this is a major event for the country and the people." Speaking of this, he solemnly looked at the king. Qin took a look and said seriously: "But Wang Xiang, you are too young after all, you are too hasty! In another five years, Dasong Yinqi Village will naturally be invincible and benefit the people. But when is it now, Du Zhisi's bloody case is still alive. Now, Wang Xiang, you are so young, why can't you wait for these five years?"

Wang Qin saluted earnestly: "Listen to Xu Xiang's teaching."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and left the palace together.Once a senior official of the first rank leaves the palace gate, he can leave in a carriage.Standing in front of their respective carriages, Wang Qin and Xu Wei talked for a few more words, as if they had met each other and hated being late.After saying goodbye again and again, the two got into the carriage respectively and headed for the Household Department and Qinzheng Palace.

In the carriage, Xu Wei still smiled slightly, with deep and wise eyes.

In another carriage, Wang Qin picked up a book and read after getting into the carriage.The book is "Wen Xun Jing Ji", the last book Fu Wei compiled before resigning from office and returning to his hometown.He quietly looked at the words on the book, put his bony fingers on the window, and tapped lightly.After a long time, he said to the coachman, "Let's go to Qinzheng Hall."

The coachman responded, and the carriage turned around again, heading towards Qinzheng Hall.

After arriving at Qinzheng Hall, Wang Qin met a person in the corridor before he reached his main room.

Zuo Cheng Chen Linghai also just came back from the palace, after the two met, Chen Xiang was slightly taken aback.Wang Qin saluted first, and Chen Linghai also saluted back.Then he looked at Wang Qin with complicated eyes, and sighed: "After all these years, the old man probably guessed five or six points of what you want to do. This matter is a great cause for thousands of years, and it is the name that the Holy Majesty wants to leave in history. My lord, this is easier said than done. Have you forgotten about the matter of Du Zhisi? How could you possibly afford such a big benefit?"

Wang Qin opened his eyes wide, looked at Chen Linghai, and said in a startled tone, "Chen Xiang, you..."

Chen Linghai said earnestly: "If it can be done, why don't I want to. But Zifeng, I am an old friend with your husband, how can I see you fall into this abyss? How can this matter be done now and in a hundred years? ! Don't go astray!"

When Tang Shen came back to Qinzheng Hall, he left from the main room of the third-rank official without thinking about it, went around a few times, and came to the room where Wang Qin was.

It seemed that Tang Shen would come, and Wang Qin was making tea.Slightly raising his white sleeves, Wang Qin poured clear tea into the tea bowl, raised his head and smiled at Tang Shen, beckoning him to approach with his eyes.

Tang Shen walked over subconsciously, preparing to sit on the opposite side of the table.But when he approached, Wang Zifeng suddenly stood up and hugged him.

"Brother?" Tang Shen asked in surprise.

Wang Qin pulled Tang Shen and brought him directly to his side, and the two sat down close to each other. "You came to look for me just after the court was over, there must be something wrong. Is it related to Yin Yinsi?"

Tang Shen: "Naturally. Brother, what do you think should be done after today?"

Wang Qin smiled: "It just so happens that I also have something to discuss with you. Since Zichen Palace left, I have met two people. One is Xu Xiang and the other is Chen Xiang. You also know that the two adults were in the early court. They all spoke out against the establishment of Dasong Yinqizhuang, but after they met me in private, they said so."

"Xu Xiang said that I acted too hastily, and wait a few more years before I can achieve great success."

"Chen Xiang said that I have fallen into a wrong path, and I am afraid that I will end up with a reputation that will last forever. May I get out as soon as possible."

"What do you think?"

Tang Shen's eyes widened: "Did they say that in private?"

Wang Qin nodded: "That's not true."

Tang Shen probably had an idea in his mind, but he didn't say anything, but instead asked Wang Qin: "Today, the Holy Majesty's sudden decree has something to do with senior brother?"

Wang Qin gave him a serious look, and said with a smile, "Yes, I posted the seal the day before yesterday and told the Holy Majesty about this matter. Only in this way will the Holy Majesty issue the imperial decree."

Tang Shen no longer doubted, he said to himself: "Since this is the case, then don't take what these two gentlemen say to heart."

"Why?"

"Because, brother, if you think that the time has come, if you can accomplish this, then you will definitely be able to do it."

Tang Shen spoke with incomparable confidence, as if he had seen the memorial written by Wang Qin with his own eyes, as if he had written the memorial.Wang Qin stared at him blankly, his heart was surging, and everything was filled with joy and love.But he suppressed the excitement, he pretended to calmly say "Oh", and asked, "You have so much confidence in me?"

Tang Shen took it for granted, "Because you are Wang Zifeng!"

The laughter could no longer be suppressed, Wang Qin laughed, then bowed his head and kissed the young man beside him.

I am happy with you, just because you are the most worthy of my love in this world!

The two ministers objected in the early court, and the matter of Yinqizhuang in the Song Dynasty also attracted the attention of the officials.In the early morning of the second day, the eunuch had just finished announcing "early morning rise", and the officials stood in line one by one.The incident happened suddenly yesterday, and they didn't know what to do.One day passed, and they all had opinions in private, and they were like ants on a hot pot, arguing with red faces and chattering endlessly.

On the contrary, the three first-rank senior officials who spoke out yesterday held the jade wat one by one, and did not say a word.

After arguing for the whole morning, Zhao Fu said displeasedly: "All lovers have their own opinions. Now, whoever has the loudest voice should listen to it?"

All the officials shut up for a moment, and there was no sound.

Zhao Fu waved his hand: "Let's disperse."

Another day passed.

On the third day, the court was still arguing about Yin Yinsi.After arguing for half a month, a military newspaper came from Youzhou, and Grand Marshal Zhou Taishi wrote a letter, praising the role of Yinqi Zhuang of the Ministry of War.In his memorial, he wrote about the various benefits of Yinqi Village of the Ministry of War of the 36 states.

When Zhao Fu ordered people to read this memorial from Taishi Zhou in the morning, all the officials showed surprise.

Left Prime Minister Xu Ai looked down at the ground, and tightly held the white jade Changhu with his fingers.

Zuo Cheng Chen Linghai couldn't hide his astonishment, and turned to look at Wang Qin.

Even Wang Quan quietly glanced at his nephew several times, but Wang Zifeng looked at his nose and heart with his eyes calm, as if he didn't know Taishi Zhou would suddenly write such a note to praise Yin Yinsi.

After reading the memorial, Zhao Fu waved his hand and said, "Do you have any objections?"

No one spoke again.

Zhao Fu looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Wang Qin.He smiled and said, "Zifeng."

Wang Qin took a step forward and saluted, "I accept the order."
