Chapter 178

His majesty worried that they had any more "unkind requests", so he hastened to end the meeting.

To tell you the truth, the time of this meeting was really long. From morning to afternoon, they were all hungry.

Then he waved his hand and said, "let's disperse the court. Viscount Qin will stay."

Then everyone ran away.

When I left, I was still smiling at Qin Murong. It was a kind of laughter of watching the crowd, others suffering and myself laughing happily.

Unspeakable insidious.

When all the civil and military officials left, his majesty also returned to his study. Qin Murong, a thousand of them, reluctantly, followed the eunuch and walked slowly to his Majesty's study.

The speed is too slow, which makes the eunuchs roll their eyes.

The eunuch said helplessly: "Sir, you can't avoid it. It's better to have a long pain than a short one. You have to come here for a while."

Qin Murong said with a bitter face: "you speak as if you were going to the execution ground. As for it."

"Yes, it wasn't execution. Why are you so excited? Why don't you hurry up? "

Qin Murong coughed twice and said, "that Do you know what your majesty is going to say to me? "

"It's nothing. As soon as you go out for such a long time, can't I talk to you about the past?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"You just know. Let's go. Can you linger for a year?"

"It's also..."

To the study, Qin Murong is reluctant to enter, and then a wry smile, said: "Your Majesty..."

Your majesty looked at this guy. Before he was clear, he wanted to clean him up, but when he came, he didn't have the heart.

"You boy, you know how much pressure I have to bear when I make trouble in the East this time?"

Qin Murong shook his head.

The eunuch said: "you're really ignorant. What's the key to your being away from the East for so many years? You've been in chaos, but you haven't been eaten by other countries? It is also adjacent to the northern Qin Dynasty in the north, to Zan Daliang in the west, and to the Southern Jin Dynasty in the south. It is not impossible for several countries to fight against each other, defeat them little by little, and divide Dongli directly. The reason why they did not do so is because their civil war is civil war, but once they are invaded by foreign countries, they will immediately twist into a rope, and all small countries will send troops to one place, and then gather to destroy it. It can be said that it is the most difficult bone to bite! When you lead the troops to the battle, you have provoked people's anger. When you are the capital of others, why do you bother to build it on the hillside? Isn't it that as long as we survive for a while and other countries come to the rescue, we can be at peace? This time, in order to prevent other small countries from attacking you, your majesty wrote more than 30 letters and made countless promises in a row, which made them watch you fight in the hinterland of the East Ah, even if Dongli is broken and eaten by the northern Qin and Southern Jin Dynasties, Daliang will not get any benefits, but will run to help Dongli Well

Qin Murong was stunned for a long time, but at last he just sighed and said, "that woman's stratagem even calculated the whole country of Daliang. This time, I really fell into a serious situation."

Your Majesty was stunned and asked, "what woman? What's the trick? "

Qin Murong told Qin Hua a series of serial plans.

Your Majesty was stunned for a long time, and said, "this woman Where is it now? "

"Dead."

Qin Murong said: "my life is fighting against each other. I don't believe in luck in ordinary days, but I win in luck in the end. I should be blessed by your majesty. Then I was pitied by heaven. But she did the opposite. It's a cycle of heaven to be punished."

Your majesty sighed: "so, you came out this time, it turned out to be a near death. You thought you were an easy solution and came back leisurely."

Qin Murong said with a bitter smile: "Weichen really doesn't like to ride in a carriage. It's very bumpy. When he gets home, he finds that his buttocks are all gone and the meat on his legs has shrunk. If he takes a carriage for a while, he will die on the road. If it wasn't for the woman's plan, I don't want to run around like this. "

"It's more convenient for big ships to come here..." Your majesty said, "but then again, you didn't take a boat. What about that boat? And he threw it to Dongli? "

Qin Murong said with a smile: "Oh, Weichen asked the ship to go to the sea to get some seafood. He calculated the time and almost came back soon. He must be filial to his majesty at that time."

"Hum, you should make such empty promises. When will you put them in front of me?"

"Hey, hey."

His Majesty gave him a white look, and then said, "in addition to these, there is one more thing I come to ask you, why did you give the method of incense to your concubines

Qin Murong Leng said: "Your Majesty has asked before? Besides the concubines To put it in a disrespectful way, even the queen and Wei Chen don't know how old she is, what her family background is, whether she is beautiful or ugly. "

"Bold!" His majesty rolled his eyes and said, "naturally, the queen is beautiful and virtuous. She has a generous appearance. How can she be ugly?""Yes, it must be."

But Qin Murong's heart is full of scorn.

In fact, many of the emperor's wife, the queen, is not a beautiful person.

As a common mother, the most important thing for a queen is her virtue. She has been too beautiful since she was a child, so it's hard to avoid being charming.

On the other hand, the choice of Queen is not based on face, but also depends on family background.

Your majesty says that he is the leader of the world, but in the end, the imperial family is just the largest family in the world. There are many other families and other forces that can't be ignored and destroyed. Those families that need to be wooed or used are more suitable for marriage.

Therefore, the general emperor and queen are the product of political marriage.

If a queen is really beautiful, regardless of her family background, it can only prove that Your majesty of this country is really tough! The rule of a country has reached the point of no omission.

But it's really rare.

Now, when his majesty Daliang ascended the throne, he also relied on the power of two families, one is to manage the family, the other is the Queen's mother's family.

That's why they have a queen and a prime minister.

Because of this, Qin Murong didn't want to have anything to do with the queen.

The existence of a big family is sometimes more difficult to deal with than his majesty.

His majesty sighed and said, "I think I've been very thoughtful, but because of this, the queen has been making trouble with me and threatened to see you, but you have already left Oh, forget it. "

Your Majesty's desire to speak and stop seems to have something on his mind.

But he immediately cheered up and said, "can you mass produce this thing called hot air balloon?"

Qin Murong said: "naturally, it can be made in batches, but it's really useless."

"Why not? Isn't spying on military intelligence perfectly competent? "

Qin Murong touched his nose and said: "if at the beginning, the other party has never seen it and doesn't know what's going on, it can take advantage of it. But compared with understanding the situation on the hot air balloon, it's hard to get the information back to the barracks. And now the hot air balloon has no ability to control the direction. It can only go with the wind. It's the first thing to go out It's almost impossible to go back the same way. Even if you bring back the message, the timeliness of the battlefield is over. Even if there are some means, such as signal cipher, it is easy to make communication mistakes because of the distance. Once there is a mistake in judging the enemy's situation, the harm will be devastating. Hot air balloons are not very reliable for military use. "

Qin Murong's analysis is very reasonable, and proves that he has really considered this aspect carefully.

His majesty thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "indeed, if it is true as you said, it is I'm afraid it's just a chicken rib. "

Qin Murong said with a wry smile: "that's why wechen has never done it, because its role is really small. In addition to its maintenance and driving costs, it can only be regarded as a But it's hard to use them in practice. "

"Well But it's good to make a certain number of them. For example, about ten of them can be used if there is a celebration. At least they are inspiring. "

"So it is."

Qin Murong nodded with a smile.

It's not difficult to make this kind of thing. Xiaobai is fully responsible for making it, not to mention ten. Even if it's hundreds of them, the ability of the Qin family chamber of commerce is not a problem. Moreover, the former one can be given away like a fool, but if it's mass customization, your majesty will still give you money. At that time, you won't be cheated by your majesty, but at least you can make some profits.

In this way, the matter will come to an end temporarily.

Your majesty thought for a moment and said, "why don't you stay at night, have dinner with me and call the queen by the way?"

"Ah?"

Qin Murong was stunned.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that I won't be allowed to take care of your family?"

His majesty felt guilty and said, "what kind of family is this? This is a matter of state! My business is a matter of state affairs! "

Qin Murong said bitterly, "is there any difference between the two?"

"Yes."

"What's the difference?"

"What I say is what it is!"

"Er..."

Qin Murong has no way to deal with his unreasonable majesty.

His majesty directly got up and went out, leaving Qin Murong standing in the study, not in or out, full of amazement.

Instead, the eunuch stayed.

He came and patted Qin Murong on the shoulder and said, "this is what you asked for. You can't blame others at all."

"What do you mean?"

Qin Murong still can't respond.

The eunuch sighed and said, "there's incense in the concubine's place. It's your" no red "that makes your majesty only go to her all day. As a result, you offend the queen. Well, your majesty didn't leave the study for a few days in order to help you leave in the East. That's good. When she went there again, she was told by the queen that concubine Liu had made a mistake. As the head of the harem, she also wanted to kill her relatives. Instead of telling her majesty, she put concubine Liu in the cold palace. "Qin Murong's eyes twitched and said, "it doesn't mean Is concubine Liu the niece of the Empress Dowager? Why... "

"If not my niece..." The eunuch subconsciously looked around, and then whispered, "that concubine Liu is already a dead man."

Then he amplified his voice and continued, "Your Majesty, I really can't bear it."

Qin Murong doubts a way: "he is your majesty, like a woman, find her back, what cold palace, as long as people do not die?"

"If you don't have any common sense about these things, the queen will be the queen in this harem! If not, all the concubines and nobles would come to your majesty to invite their favor. What would your majesty do? So the rules can't be broken. Your majesty can't take care of the affairs in the harem. Especially in the cold palace, your majesty can't go! This is the royal rule for many years. How can it be broken just because of one person? "

Qin Murong's eyes twitched and said: "no wonder your majesty wants to take the queen to sit in the hot air balloon together. He even mentioned it before. It turns out that he wants to please the queen and let her release people Er But it's all about the harem. Why do you tell me? Your majesty went out on his own and left you here just to let you tell me that? "

He felt a little bit of crisis!

The eunuch rolled his eyes and said, "boy, if you don't understand the rules, you don't understand them."

"But..." Qin Murong said bitterly, "I can't help it. Why let me have dinner with the queen?"

"Well, you're the one who caused the trouble. If you can't help it, you have to find a way! Aren't you usually smart? Now it's time to use you. "

"Disaster? I How can I be a disaster for the sake of your Majesty's health? "

Qin Murong looks innocent.

The eunuch said, "yes, the intention is good, but there are some flaws in the operation. Before, the zajia didn't expect that the Wuhong you made has such great effect. Besides, the zajia also wanted to make concubine Liu more beneficial Ah, if you don't mention this, it's all your fault anyway. At the beginning, you gave Wu Hong to the empress honestly, so there's not so much to say? "

Qin Murong opened his mouth wide and found a sense of depression that could not be explained clearly.

Then he was stunned and asked, "no, it's not right!"

"Why not?"

Qin Murong said: "you think, if it's just because there is no red, then the queen will find an excuse to take it from concubine Liu. Besides, how can concubine Liu not bow her head when she is under the eaves? I'm afraid that as soon as the queen goes, she honestly gives Wu Hong away. How can things get into such a situation? I always listen to Furong about her concubines. She doesn't want that kind of Stupid people. "

The eunuch was also stunned. He frowned and thought for a while. He said, "don't mention it. It seems to be such a truth. The things in it are not simple. I'm afraid your majesty hasn't thought about it."

"So What do you want me to do? I'm not in charge of this! "

The eunuch laughed and said, "that's why I should go to see you! You see, as soon as you come back, this man hasn't seen him yet, so he has come up with such a loophole. It's really in response to the saying that "those who are in the game and the onlookers see clearly". You can't go now! "

Qin Murong twitched his eyes and said, "can't we just forget the conversation?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Can you forget the dim sum and wine supply of Qin's shop in one year?"

The eunuch was obviously a little excited, but finally he gritted his teeth and said, "I still can't! It's a big deal. "

"More?"

"Well, let's go. If you let your majesty wait, I'm afraid you will be beaten."

"Ah..."

Qin Murong had no choice but to follow the eunuch.

This day, from morning to night, the main hall also went, the square also played, the study also talked about, the result also had to eat a meal.

Is that a meal?

That is to play with life!

Those girls in my family can't make it by themselves. Go to see the queen? That's the most powerful and intelligent woman in a country! Even if ten of them are tied together, they are not her opponents.

After entering the harem, Qin Murong did not know that he was the first foreign minister to enter the harem safely in decades.

I don't know how much favor that means.

I just feel like I'm going to have bad luck!

The back palace is very large. First, it has a wonderful garden. Then, it goes around two cloisters and comes to a beautiful palace.

Weiyang palace, Queen's residence.

Weiyang, with the meaning of "endless" and the sustenance of longevity, peace and joy, is naturally the most appropriate place to put it on the Queen's bedroom.

Entering the main entrance, the main hall is very big, the setting sun shines, and the lights are bright, which gives birth to a sacred taste here.

Your majesty is present, and the food and wine are ready. It is obvious that what happened today is in your Majesty's calculation. Qin Murong can't escape.Sitting next to her is a woman in elegant clothes. She looks about forty. If she is in her thirties, it's no big mistake. The red robe Phoenix seal and the golden crown XIAPEI must be the empress.

Qin Murong quickly stepped forward two steps, arched his hand and said, "I've seen your majesty, I've seen the queen."

His majesty and the queen were stunned, and then they laughed.

His majesty said, "this boy is not big or small on weekdays. It really makes people angry. But I've been used to it for such a long time. Now the queen is afraid that she will be angry with him when she meets her for the first time."

The empress said with a smile: "the palace is not angry. Viscount Qin himself is a lord, and he should have a certain royal bearing. In addition, he holds such a huge thing as the chamber of Commerce of the Qin family, and there are no less than 400000 people under his command. This kind of talk is worthy of that kind of confidence."

His majesty nodded and said, "that's what I said. After all, I'm a feudal official now, and some of my bearing is also good What are you still doing there? Come and sit down

His majesty pointed to the position opposite him. Qin Murong rushed over and sat down on the chair honestly.

In fact, according to his own thinking, his actions have been personal enough, but unexpectedly, in the eyes of others, it has become a symbol of arrogance.

But it doesn't matter. People take the initiative to find reasons for him. If they care about it, they will be affected.

Looking at the dishes on the table, it's not so rare. It's just a little delicate. To tell you the truth, it's not as good as Qin Murong's usual diet.

When his majesty looked at Qin Murong, especially the "look down" in his eyes, he felt angry.

"Do you think the world is as extravagant as you? This banquet is already good in the palace. How about the food in your Viscount's mansion? "

Qin Murong quickly said: "the family of Wei Chen is a simple meal, which can match your Majesty's Royal bearing?"

"Plain food?"

His Majesty's eyes twitched for a moment, then turned to the queen and said, "queen, this boy's simple food is very famous in Daliang city."

"Oh? How to name the law? Is it hard to eat? It's very crude? "

"Hey Your majesty said with a smile, "I know the details of some of the dishes. For example, one of them is called not sweet or salty."

"Not sweet or salty? This is a A straightforward name. "

The queen couldn't help but smile.

As a result, as her majesty continued to introduce her, she could not laugh.

"There is a kind of game in Southern Jin Dynasty, named jiuchitang, which is a kind of poisonous snake! It takes only one bite to kill the cattle. But its meat is excellent, delicious, smooth and tender. It is called "ground dragon meat" by the local people. However, because of the need to avoid my dragon body, it is not so popular in the market. According to Bai Xiao's evaluation, it accounts for one of the ten most delicious kinds of meat in the world. This kind of meat, fresh and alive, was transported to Daliang city. It was cleaned up by a special cook in the Southern Jin Dynasty. Pieces of it were thick and cut into Yuanbao pieces. It was said that the meat was crystal clear in the sun, like a beautiful jade. Then, the honey from the deep mountains is smeared on it for a few times, drizzled with a little refined salt, and carefully baked by the dark fire charcoal. The surface of the honey will become golden and crisp, and the inside is really tender and refreshing. Then it will be served in less than a long time, and the wine will be eaten, and the taste will be I don't know. I just listen to the old worm. If I take a bite, I feel that there is no meat in the world. "

The Queen's smile froze on her face, frowned twice and asked, "so Is this dish not sweet or salty

Your majesty nodded and said, "yes, it's such a sweet and salty one. The old worm always mentions it at the banquet, which makes those masters look disgraced."

When it comes to the light dish, he says, "no, he doesn't laugh."

"Your Majesty, don't say any more..."

The empress said with a bitter smile, "if you go on, I'm afraid it's more difficult to enter this table."
