Chapter 193 The Old Man's Stubbornness
Shi Shangshu picked up the things and sat back.

Neither of them continued the topic just now, but that topic was still in their minds, circling around.

That Highness, he had also dealt with him before.

In the beginning, Dong Shilang ran errands under the head of the Chejia Qingli Department of the Ministry of War.

He is not an official, but a petty official.

Not long after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the boundaries were not so clear, and when the court was recruiting talents, in addition to opening Enke, they also let experienced petty officials like them enter the stream.

At that time, he was still young, and if he wanted to support his family, he needed to work hard and stand on his feet.

It was also lucky, one time, when His Highness came to the yamen, he didn't know how to hit him, and asked him a few questions.

Dong Shilang answered one by one.

His Highness praised him for his good and fluent memory.

These compliments also made Shangfeng pay attention to him and gave him more opportunities, which he seized.

So, in the new year's roster, he changed from an official to an official, and went on step by step until today.

Dong Shilang knew very well that with the official selection system in Dazhou at that time, he was qualified and worked hard. Even without the praise of His Highness, he would be able to stand out sooner or later.

However, because of that sentence, he made Shangfeng see him faster.

At first, the most difficult.

When everything is waiting to be done, there is a big difference in the amount of money and rations that a small official who runs errands and a high-level official get.

Wasn't it the extra money that he was able to take care of the elderly well and raise the children?

such a pity……

Dong Shilang thought, that His Highness left too early.

Otherwise, with his leading methods, he would definitely be able to beat Xiliang and Nanshu to the brim.

Shi Shangshu was also thinking.

Before the establishment of the dynasty, he worked under the command of the first emperor.

Responsible for transporting food and grass, arranging labor, and supplementing logistics, naturally have a lot of contacts with His Highness.

His Highness's temper was yelled at by people from Xiliang outside Feimen Pass, he must have raised his gun to beat him back mercilessly.

No will?

He personally recruited!
When he was a prince, he led the army to discuss in the south. Now that he is an emperor, can he be honest?
Shi Shangshu could imagine what that person would say while patting his hands.

It will definitely be more noisy than that year in the south.

Mrs. Xu would not let him mess around, he would have to make a fuss for several days, and in the end, maybe it was the same as now, he was so angry that he went home to retire.

Do not……

It's not the same.

Xu's house doesn't know how to build walls outside.

With His Highness's temper, not only would he not take the initiative to build first, but if Mrs. Xu built it, he would be able to knock down the wall with one fist after another.

Thinking of this, Shi Shangshu laughed out loud, and after laughing, he felt countless sighs.

I can't think like that...

It's too taboo.

Maybe it's because I'm old that I'm stuck in old memories.

It's too disrespectful to the emperor who is currently sitting on the dragon chair, it's too inappropriate...

On the other side, outside the imperial study room, Eunuch Xu turned and went in after listening to the report.

"Your Majesty," he said, "Old Lord Hou went to the Ministry of War to urge him to leave the city in the evening, and set off at night as soon as the boat arrives at the ferry."

The emperor was approving the papers when he heard the words: "I guessed it, it's not him if you don't worry. Is there any news?"

Eunuch Xu showed hesitation.

"Say it straight," the emperor urged.

"The youngest grandson of Lord Hou, accompanied him to the military department." Eunuch Xu said.

The emperor frowned slightly.

Eunuch Xu lowered his eyes and recounted all the conversations the spies had overheard.

The ink pen in the emperor's hand was put down.

What a child.

I don't comment on other words Qin Yin said, but the emperor deeply agrees with the sentence "I'm stupid in studying".

The same goes for Zhao Yuan.

I have never seen what it looks like in troubled times, and I don't know how far Feimenguan is from the capital on the map.

All are "children".

But even if it is a child, the words that come out are still piercing ears.

Dead people, more useful than living people?

The emperor pursed his lips: "Their grandfather and grandson have returned home?"

"Should have gone back." Eunuch Xu said.

"Leaving in the evening, sailing overnight?" The emperor snorted, "Go to the gate of the city to see you off."

Eunuch Xu was taken aback.

Soon, he understood.

The emperor was worried that Marquis Yongning would secretly send his little grandson out of the city and onto a boat.

Afterwards it was really discovered that Qin Miao was no longer in the capital, how could the emperor make things difficult for the rest of the Qin family?

But a child, just naughty and sneaky.

If the emperor accuses the Yongning Hou Mansion without other evidence, it will hurt the hearts of the courtiers.

The old grandfather led the army to go out, and the rest of the family were blamed for no reason...

Thinking so...

Eunuch Xu thought back and forth, and thought: "Your Majesty, if the old Hou Ye didn't take his grandson away, it means that he has no other ideas. If you don't see the child tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you just use this to prepare yourself. "

Touching his beard, the emperor thought deeply.

Although Qin Yin is careless, he is straightforward, not stupid. If he really has something in his heart, he will never take his little grandson away. This move will scare the snake away.

Once he does this, it is equivalent to abandoning all other relatives and only changing to a young grandson.

Judging from the situation, Qin Yin has no need for this for the time being.

On the other hand, if he really asked Eunuch Xu to guard the city gate...

I'm afraid Qin Yin tasted it first.

"You're right," the emperor nodded slowly, "Go and tell the two Yulins. After the ship sets sail, if you find other Qin family members on board, report back immediately."

Eunuch Xu went in response.

The emperor leaned against the back of the chair with a gloomy expression.

That old man Qin Yin is not something to worry about.

The national teacher was right before, when Xiliang and Nanshu are beaten back, it is better for those troublesome people to stay in Feimenguan to eat sand.

The setting sun is reflected in the sky, and the sunset is like fire.

In Yongning Hou's mansion, Qin Zhi thanked Liao imperial physician and the two Yulin who came to the door, and asked them to take care of the old father on the way.

And that old father was giving the last few words of advice to Mrs. Hou.

After leaving the house, Marquis Yongning saw Qin Luan standing on the porch: "What else do you want to say?"

Qin Luan smiled and said, "I'll hand over the box containing the peace talisman to the steward, and let him put it in your luggage."

"For the old man?" Yongning Hou asked.

"For father and Ding Guogong," Qin Luan laughed seeing Yongninghou glaring at her, "You can't use it. You'll be radiant after using it, and you won't be able to pretend anymore."

Hou Yongning snorted and laughed.

Justified.

Never mind.

With a serious face, the old Hou Ye warned: "You know more than others, and you must pay close attention to the development and changes in the future, and make a decision when something happens."

Having said that, he looked back at the room and lowered his voice: "Your grandmother has many strengths, the greatest of which is her keenness. If she makes any decisions, you must listen to her."

Qin Luan asked: "Is this based on your experience?"

"That's right?" Marquis Yongning was triumphant.

Qin Luan smiled.

After saying this, Qin Yin asked Qin Luan to support him, and sat down on the bamboo sedan chair in the courtyard.

The sedan chair went all the way to the front yard and landed on the carriage.

Qin Yin stood up, stepped on the pedals, and climbed up, showing Liao Taiyi and Yu Lin "the old man's stubbornness".

　See you tomorrow~~~
