A Piece of Li Song Changting Twilight

Zhao Nanke was not very willing for Qin Xiaolou and Zhao Pingzhen to leave, because Qin Xiaolou was indeed a smart person, and he was very capable in handling things.But Qin Xiaolou was Zhao Pingzhen's person after all, and besides the political relationship, Qin Xiaolou and Zhao Pingzhen had another relationship.

Zhao Nanke pondered for a moment and asked, "Why?"

Zhao Pingzhen looked sad: "Brother Huang, I need Qin Xiaolou." He acted half-truth and half-fake, Zhao Nanke couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a moment, and said euphemistically: "But the court needs Qin Xiaolou."

Zhao Pingzhen said: "Brother Huang, I am sincere to Qin Xiaolou. This year I..." He deliberately paused, pursed his lower lip, and did not continue.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Nanke couldn't say no to him for a while, hesitating at what to say, Zhao Pingzhen asked him to ask Qin Xiaolou what he meant, Zhao Nanke thought for a while, and agreed.

When Zhao Nanke's envoy found Qin Xiaolou and made Zhao Pingzhen's request, Qin Xiaolou was really surprised.But he didn't hesitate for a long time and agreed to go north with Zhao Pingzhen.As for the affairs of the court, he will slowly hand them over to others, and take care of everything within a few months.

After the emperor's envoy left, Qin Chengxue asked Qin Xiaolou unhappily why he agreed, Qin Xiaolou just sighed and said: "I have just started, he is a prince after all, under his command, I have no right to say no." .”

Qin Chengxue leaned in his arms and said sadly: "Brother, no matter how great your official is, he is the emperor's younger brother. Are you going to let him bully you for the rest of your life?"

Qin Xiaolou gently stroked Qin Chengxue's hair, and said: "No, Cheng Xue, you don't understand the pros and cons of this. If King Rui came to ask me in person, maybe there is still room for returning to Huan. Now the emperor sent someone If you come to ask me, it means that the emperor's heart is biased toward him. I still need his help and concealment for many things, so I must not defy him. If he wants to overthrow me now, it will be as easy as crushing an ant. Cheng Xue, now I I am subject to him only because I ask him for something, if one day I fulfill my wish, no one will be able to control us anymore."

Qin Chengxue sighed quietly, grabbed Qin Xiaolou's skirt and said aggrievedly: "Then when are we going to leave Lin'an?"

Qin Xiaolou shook his head: "It's not us, Cheng Xue, you stay here."

Qin Chengxue was stunned for a moment, her face turned pale in an instant, she let go of Qin Xiaolou and took a step back, staring at her brother speechless.

Qin Xiaolou was cruel, and said: "Cheng Xue, listen to me..."

Qin Chengxue shook her head desolately: "Needless to say. Brother, I will wait for you."

Qin Xiaolou's thousands of words were suppressed in his chest and he couldn't speak out, and his endless melancholy circled back and forth in his intestines.And Qin Chengxue's forbearable sorrow aroused the guilt in his heart, and he couldn't help rushing up to hug Qin Chengxue, muttering: "Cheng Xue...Cheng Xue..." But other than that... Besides, he couldn't say more.

Two days later, Zhao Pingzhen quietly returned to the north.

Three months later, after Qin Xiaolou finished handling the relationship between the court and China, Zhao Nanke assigned him a position of military governor, and he picked a day to go north.

Although Zhao Pingzhen didn't like Wu Bing, but adhering to the attitude of not doubting the employment, he almost let Wu Bing and others do the fighting.If anyone doubts, he will use the aura of robbing the beauty to push them back.Even if it hurt the interests of the gentry and rich merchants, and Zhao Nanke personally intervened, Zhao Pingzhen insisted on the principle of not accepting military orders abroad, and forced them back.

The first thing Wu Yi wants to change is Da Mu's old rule of "planning strategies".In the past when the generals of Damu fought battles, it was the civil servants in Beijing who formulated a strategic plan early on and remotely controlled the development of the situation on the battlefield.Although this is beneficial to the emperor's rule, the consequence is that the generals who lead the army have little room to display their talents, and military aircraft are often delayed due to the slow transmission of news.

Since ancient times, it has been extremely difficult to reform the law. Although Zhao Nanke wanted to support Zhao Pingzhen at the beginning, there were too many forces involved, so he had to retreat.However, although Zhao Pingzhen had been idle for more than 20 years, he had been exposed to a lot of political means, and he was naturally superb in this area. The inside and outside of the building should cooperate... Zhao Nanke has almost nothing to do with this kind of political scoundrel, so he can only bite the bullet and let him do it.

Fortunately, Zhao Pingzhen had a good vision and did not believe in the wrong person.The Iron Armored Army led by him won seven battles and seven victories in the battle against the Jinren. In one battle, 3000 men defeated the Jinren's [-] soldiers and horses with fewer victories.It's a pity that the few battles he fought were all small battles, and the most he killed was only [-] heads of the golden soldiers. The backbone of the golden soldiers has not been injured yet, and the situation between the two countries has not changed substantially.

On the day Qin Xiaolou arrived in Pingcheng, Zhao Pingzhen was obsessed with military affairs, and it was Wu Yi who went to greet him outside the city gate in person.

Wu Yi and Qin Xiaolou have not seen each other for more than a year. He tried to write two letters to Qin Xiaolou, but Qin Xiaolou never replied to him.

Qin Xiaolou drove over in a carriage from a distance, and saw Wu Yi leading a group of people standing under the city gate, smiling so hard that his teeth couldn't see his eyes.

When Qin Xiaolou arrived at the foot of the city, Wu Yi ordered people to open the city to greet him, but he unceremoniously got into Qin Xiaolou's carriage and ordered the driver to continue on his way.

Over the past year, in order to make use of Wu Yi's talents, Zhao Pingzhen has favored him to an almost staggering degree.Wu Yi is indeed talented, but his character is inferior and he is greedy for money and sex. He has gained power by himself, behaves arrogantly and domineeringly, and does all kinds of evil.Zhao Pingzhen received the petitions to impeach Wu Yi every day, almost catching up with the military reports from all over the country. Later, he simply ordered people not to present these petitions to him, and sent them directly to the kitchen as firewood.In this way, Wu Yi became more and more confident.

Wu Yi knew the relationship between Qin Xiaolou and Zhao Pingzhen, but like most people, he believed that Qin Xiaolou was just Zhao Pingzhen's plaything.Moreover, in the past year, he has been so proud that he has almost forgotten his real surname, and thought that he is also a relative of the emperor if he is surnamed Zhao. With Zhao Pingzhen's protection of him, how could he set up a relationship with him for a Qin Xiaolou? gas?Zhao Pingzhen can play Qin Xiaolou, so can Wu Yi.

Qin Xiaolou was displeased because of Wu Yi's rudeness, but Wu Yi would get worse, when the carriage started to drive again, he actually put down the curtain and pinched Qin Xiaolou's ankle vaguely: "Master Qin, Tired all the way."

Qin Xiaolou frowned abruptly, and quickly turned his mind a few times, thinking whether Wu Yi had lost his composure or whether Zhao Pingzhen was telling him to do so intentionally.However, he quickly ruled out the second situation - in this regard, Zhao Pingzhen is not so inferior.

So Qin Xiaolou pulled his foot back suddenly, and said coldly, "Stop!"

Wu Yi just smiled rascally: "Master Qin, I can't do it if you want me to become King Rui, but I have already achieved it if you want to become King Rui's confidant."

Qin Xiaolou laughed and said, "I introduced you to His Royal Highness King Rui, but now you are belittling me instead?"

Wu Yi bullied him with a salivating smile: "Lord Qin, don't misunderstand, I have no intention of being frivolous towards you, but a sincere heart..."

Qin Xiaolou smiled instead of anger, raised the corners of his eyebrows and scolded: "King Ruorui knows that you have such thoughts for me, what do you think he will think?" Not only was there no threat in Wu Yi's eyes, but rather provocative.

Wu Yi was still smiling, without any self-knowledge, and touched Qin Xiaolou's calf again: "Master Qin is the heart of King Rui, and also my heart, I don't dare to make Lord Qin unhappy, I just ask Master Qin to take pity on you Me, give me a night of spring night to talk and relieve my lovesickness for adults."

Seeing that he was confident, Qin Xiaolou quickly had an idea in his mind, so he softened his tone and hummed softly: "After the welcome dinner in a few days..."

Wu Yi smiled, his originally small eyes had become a slit, and his hands restlessly stretched along Qin Xiaolou's calf bone, Qin Xiaolou half pushed and half refused to avoid his harassment, and finally survived The carriage stopped, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night Qin Xiaolou walked out of the room after taking a bath and changing clothes, and found that Zhao Pingzhen was sitting in the yard, with a bottle of jade wine and two white jade cups on the stone table in front of him, shining crystal clear under the moonlight.

Qin Xiaolou smiled slightly, stepped forward, and found that the two jade cups were already full of wine.

Zhao Pingzhen raised his eyelids and glanced at him, raised a wine glass with a half-smile and drank it down in one gulp, saying: "Drink it, and I will catch the wind for you."

Because Qin Xiaolou is an official officially appointed by the emperor, he must hold a formal reception banquet when he takes office as a new official, so as to facilitate his acquaintance and communication with other officials.Zhao Pingzhen deliberately moved the time of this dinner, one is to let Qin Xiaolou have a good rest for a few days, and the other is to reserve some time for himself to get along with Qin Xiaolou - after all, the two have been together for a whole year Never made out.

Qin Xiaolou didn't have a good capacity for alcohol, but he still picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, turning the wine glass upside down and shaking it like Zhao Pingzhen.

Zhao Pingzhen smiled slightly, pulled Qin Xiaolou into his arms, made him sit on his lap with his back leaning on his arms, poured another glass of wine for him in this position.

Qin Xiaolou was the same as in previous years, obediently like a kitten he raised, and seemed to casually lick the liquid on the corner of his mouth after drinking.

Zhao Pingzhen poured another glass of wine for himself, and asked unhurriedly, "Has Gu Xiaojun visited you this year?"

Qin Xiaolou's eyes were bent, and the long eyelashes were covered with a layer of silver light from the moonlight: "Then, how many concubines did your Highness accept this year?"

Zhao Pingzhen sighed half-truthfully: "Not a single one. I have been too busy with things this year, how can I be so carefree like you?" Having said that, he didn't ask any more questions about Gu Xiaojun— ——Actually, in Zhao Pingzhen's heart, Gu Xiaojun was nothing at first. He even felt that such a stupid person, Qin Xiaolou, wouldn't even look at him seriously.

In fact, Qin Xiaolou is also very busy in the capital, and there is no way to feel free.But he wouldn't say that, because Zhao Pingzhen knew this very well.And Zhao Pingzhen was just acting with him, so he continued to cooperate: "My heart is naturally towards Zhenqing."

In fact, sometimes Qin Xiaolou feels bored with such conversations.He likes to deceive unintelligent people, such as Gu Xiaojun, such as Qin Chengxue, but for people like Zhao Pingzhen, the two sides clearly know each other, and he doesn't understand why Zhao Pingzhen is so keen to speak in this way.And knowing that what he heard was a lie, even after witnessing the scene where he and Qin Chengxue were miserable, the corners of his mouth would curl up in obvious good mood because of such words.

And Zhao Pingzhen didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, so he just walked away on his own, and the more he thought about it, the better his mood, and finally even laughed out loud.Qin Xiaolou was hesitating whether to ask him what he thought of, but Zhao Pingzhen had already wrapped his arms around his waist, and buried his face in his chest happily: "Qin Xiaolou...with you in the future, this day But it's much more interesting."
