Aoyama

In early spring, the grass is sparse in color, and it looks like a piece from a distance, but you can only smell the fragrance of the earth when you walk close.In the field, the shepherd boy pointed to the hillside of Mingluan Mountain and asked what the soaring purple smoke was. The elder squinted his eyes and replied, "That is the ancestral hall of the Qi family. General Qi is offering sacrifices to the ancestors."

It was indeed a grand event, the carriages coming and going stopped one after another, and there were thousands of people who sighed.As the eldest son of the family, Qi Lin rebuilt the ancestral hall and spread the posters everywhere, gathering the elders and grandchildren together, worshiping the sky and worshiping the ancestors, and shining the lintel of the family.

In front of the door is the sea of ​​golden tripods and incense burners, the wind blows the clouds and the fragrance overflows the mountain, and on the three-foot-wide dirt road, a carriage comes creaking.The man in the car was well-behaved and looked around, only to realize that he had been severely cheated.

Although the sacrificial ceremony was not held yet, this group of people was full of excitement, they were all relatives of the Qi family, and they didn't have a familiar face...Han Shui was embarrassed, and ordered his subordinates to go to the front hall to pay respects. Come.

Qi Lin was extraordinarily energetic today, so he shouted from afar: "Master Han! Please!" Han Shui grasped at straws and asked: "Didn't you also invite a few ministers from the court and China, and Han will be with them. "Qi Lin smiled and didn't answer, but Ban Xia's faint voice came from behind: "The subordinate just saw the gift list when I handed over the gift, and all the pages are full of Qi's surname."

Han Shui smiled stiffly: "What do you mean, General?" Qi Lin's staring eyes curved: "How about letting the elders of the Qi clan meet you? Back then, you were picked up by the side door." Ban Xia immediately turned serious. Rebuked: "The general deceives people too much!"

The bell on the top of the mountain sounded "Boom", and when it first rang, all the people in the sacrificial hall were ready, and Qi Lin waved his sleeves in a graceful manner, saluting: "It's a joke, little brother, don't take it seriously."

The bell rang eight times in a row, Qi Lin went to preside over the consecration of the ancestor worship, Qi San received the guests in the side hall, but Han Shui lost his mind for a moment.The gift he prepared here is exactly the four-character official plaque for the new seal script of the Qi Mansion.

After the rural banquet, the white-bearded person mentioned marriage, and nominated the daughter of a prominent family to be married; the middle-aged person mentioned the family, the officialdom, and the way to make money;Although Qi Lin is young, he is able to socialize everywhere without any fear.

Toasting to the outer circle, he caught a glimpse of Lord Han who was cooking alone, Qi Lin shook his robe and sat down beside him, and said with a smile: "Since you know you've been fooled, why don't you just leave, who are you waiting for?" It is the general banner of the Shadow Pavilion, the first-rank official residence, and they all politely toasted, but they were all stopped by Ban Xia.

Qi Lin respectfully put a piece of braised pork into the Han Shui bowl.

Han Shui raised his eyes and smiled unexpectedly without putting on a cold face.

After returning, he personally supervised the work, repaired all the inside and outside of the gate of Qi Mansion, and hung up the "Righteous Way of the World".

What happened to Mingluan Mountain was sweet, but there were always sparks of evil fire flickering in Han Shui's mind.

However, the most urgent task right now is the Prince of Xijin.The old prince is the younger brother of the former emperor, and he has always been domineering. Now that the fief is occupied, it is clear that he must tear down Yu Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.Not only did he have to fight with Uncle Xiao Guo, but he also had to fight with the Yun family. In desperation, Han Shui had no choice but to find his old comrade-in-arms Lin Yun. Two silver coins to compensate the King of Xijin.

Shang Shusheng and Lin Yun brewed this year's top-notch new tea, and cried loudly: "Whenever the Ministry of Households is not tearing down the east wall to make up for the west, you first ask the Ministry of War to spit out some advances, and everything will be easy to handle." Han Shui said: "The expenditure year This year is like this, what are you doing with the Ministry of War?" Lin Yun said: "Since General Qi was ordered to change the local military system, a few raindrops have not fallen, and he wants a lot of money."

This is strange.The emperor raised the baby and stayed away from politics for several months. Han Shui never entered the palace, but it was widely rumored that only Lord Han could face the saint; Master Han can control the game.

Mr. Han smiled: "The film department only monitors the government and the public. How can there be such means? If you don't sell it, Han really has nothing to do." Lin Yun put down the teacup gently, squinted his eyes, and spit out three Word: "Establish written evidence."

The clerk is sensible, the tea is still smoking, and the pen and ink are in place.Lin Yun read it, and the clerk wrote—"10 taels of silver, Han Shui, the general banner of the private branch of the film department, has no name." Han Shui watched from the side, and laughed and scolded: "What a scoundrel."

Going back to the film department, Han Shui rubbed for a long time, and finally washed off the red ink paste on his fingertips, but he heard Banxia nagging: "The account of the Ministry of Industry and the King of Xijin, the Ministry of Accounts, how come the Ministry of Accounts is on the head of the adults? , without a name, it’s just a tool for embezzlement and bribery.”

Dongqing said: "Xiao Yu is behind the King of Jin, and Xiao Yu is the immediate boss of the Ministry of Households. Lin Yun is smart and will never openly fill the hole with money for the Ministry of Industry, so he has to do this strategy and deliberately leave an adult behind." The handle, so I can explain it to Xiao Yu." Ban Xia gave a blank look: "I know that, I mean, it's not worth it."

Han Shui sighed softly, and a sharp Shangfang sword flashed in his mind... So far, Yu Xian has become the focus of attention on the peak of the two big waves, and he has no choice but to fight.

If Han Shui didn't even have this ability, why did he form a party and gather people's hearts?

Trivial things continue, but the leisurely heart is like spring flowers, blooming everywhere.The sun was shining, and a regular visitor came to the training ground of the shadow department.Seeing the children practicing martial arts with swords, they all rolled over like a flood, shouting: "General, fight with us!" Su Mu had no choice but to send someone to call Han Shui.

General Qi has candies in his arms, and he comes once a week. The children present can eat candies as long as they compete with him for three rounds, regardless of whether they win or lose, regardless of weapons.When asked by the steward, Qi Lin only said: "Come and see Tianhao, and give out sugar by the way." This has become a routine.

Standing in the corridor, Han Shui saw General Qi majesticly bullying the children, and the dancing dust was like a golden mist.But just now, Dongqing came to report: "10 taels of silver, the prince thinks it's too little, and I want my lord to send it in person." Sure enough, the troubles kept cutting off, and the reasoning was still chaotic.

In the afternoon, Han Shui called Tianhao to receive him as a routine, and made wine in the flower and bird forest of Yingge, and accompanied him for half a day.Qi Lin lifted Tianhao up and frowned: "This kid has been in your film department for a few months, why is he so light?" Su Mu said: "Don't look at him as black and thin, his movements are very quick, and he is at the top of the martial arts class .”

Tianhao struggled, his deer eyes were piercing, and he clamored to compete with Qi Lin in archery.Su Mu said with a smile: "You are very brave, but the bow is not high enough."

Han Shui watched from the sidelines with a tepid expression.Qi Lin put down Tianhao, clapped his hands, and asked: "What, what's on your mind?" Han Shui said: "I thought soldiers didn't like children, but what I saw recently was unexpected." Qi Lin smiled tolerantly: "Don't worry, When the little prince comes to this world in the future, I will still be in pain." Han Shui's eyes lit up, and he completely forgot all about King Xijin's mess.

After a while, Tianhao found a wooden slingshot from somewhere, and pulled Sumu: "You use bows and arrows, I use this to hit the red rock on the opposite side of the pond." Take their arrows and put them on the string.

A rock the size of an egg can only hold an arrow. Su Mu wanted Tianhao to miss it on purpose, but when he heard the sound of the bowstring beside him, the rock burst instantly and dust fell all over the ground.Tianhao's face darkened, Qi Lin laughed and said, "Boy, fight with me."

After suffering the loss of courtesy, Su Mu took advantage of the situation and persuaded: "General Qi should take the first prize, so the Ministry of War should leave more money for the Ministry of Industry." Han Shui's expression changed immediately: "Go down, stop talking nonsense." Question: "What's the matter with the film department?"

Su Mu has come to understand the general situation and knows how to speak for Shang Feng: "The Ministry of Film monitors the government and the public, coordinates the various ministries, and learned that the advance payment of the Ministry of War has occupied the silver taels that the Ministry of Industry paid to the King of Xijin, so there is an unnecessary matter."

Qi Lin understood as soon as he heard it: "Xiao Yu forced you to pay the money?" Han Shui said, "At this point, the Ministry of War should take a step back and move some money, don't be too overbearing." Qi Lin refused.Su Mu said: "The general refuses to let Tianhao, so why not even Mr. Han?" Not only did he refuse to let him, but Qi Lin rejected him on the basis of principle, without any sympathy.Han Shui sighed.He is too familiar with Qi Lin's reverse scale.

When seeing off at the south gate, Qi Lin said with a smile: "There is a plan, so that the prince of Xijin will not bother with the one or two hundred acres of land within three days, and the difficulties of the Ministry of Industry will be solved." Han Shui felt awkward, too lazy to ask, and directly see a visitor out.Su Mu persuaded: "When it comes to wrists and contacts, how can General Qi know your Excellency's painstaking efforts?"

In the night, the cicadas kept singing, tossing and turning on the bed, and always felt that there was a monstrous secret hidden in those eyes that seemed to be playing but not playing... Han Shui sat up suddenly, put on his clothes in a hurry, turned on a dim light by himself, and repeatedly knocked on the flag next door Shadow's door.As soon as the door opened, it seemed as if the cicadas had stopped singing, Dongqing was sleepy, slightly surprised: "My lord?"

Han Shui quickly tore off the black shadow suit on the screen, threw it at him, and ordered: "Go to Qi Mansion, no, go to Zhongshu Province, and ask Master Chu to return the booklet on General Qi." Dongqing asked: "What booklet?" ?” Han Shui was stunned: “No matter what the book is, you have to come back.”

Holly failed to fulfill her order.On the second day, the memorial with Xuanyuan Baoyin was handed over to the imperial study. Yun Bing was about to give birth, his eyes were heavy, and he ordered Jin Fang to read it.Within three days, King Xijin really didn't care about the fields.

General Qi talked about the local military system, with sharp words. The first half of the article is to cut down the power of the princes and relatives, and the military power of the kings in the four realms. , from Xiao Guoshu's lair.

The so-called big waves cover small waves, compared with the 10 taels of silver from the Ministry of Industry, it pales in comparison and is not a cause for concern.For several days, there were countless people who wanted to find out, and the gate of Qi Mansion was closed.Han Shui showed his integrity and asked Dongqing to accompany him through the side door again.

But seeing General Qi posing with his feet and dancing his sword in the hall... Han Shui was so worried that he reached out and grabbed the blade of the sword: "Where is Xiling Road?! That is His Majesty's old land! It is a big taboo! Do you know how many interest entanglements and human relationships are behind it?" Qi Lin said: "I know."

Han Shui didn't feel the pain at all, and tried to persuade him: "Listen to me, the Xiao family's hundreds of thousands of troops in the western region have conquered the country, and their merits will last forever. At this time, it is very difficult to move, so we can only draw it slowly. Don't commit this taboo just because of me at this time."

The blood was glistening and spreading along the silver blade, so frightened that Dongqing quickly tore off the cloth and tied it up for Han Shui, but Qi Lin didn't bother with the superficial warmth, and only said one sentence, simple and frank: "Qi's ambition is not to fear power. Nothing to do with you."
