Playing intrigue is worse than engaging in infrastructure

Song Qingyuan took out a bundle of sisal rope from the treasury and handed it to Carpenter Liu, instructing him to wrap the sisal rope and fix it on the stake.

I don't know if cat scratching posts are attractive to lions, but now he only has dead horses as living horse doctors.

When the cub grows up a bit more, he can be settled in the garden.

Song Qingyuan comforted himself, handed the tools to Carpenter Liu with confidence, and turned back to the study by himself.

There is a garden separated from the flower hall to the study, and there are often servants hiding behind the rockery to lazily gossip about the servants and cooks.

According to Song Qingyuan's point of view, as long as it is not too much and delays the task assigned by the master, you can turn a blind eye and close one eye, there is no need to reprimand and criticize them.After all, a boss who doesn't let his employees fish is not a good boss.

Therefore, Song Qingyuan just walked around from the other side as if he didn't know anything.

But he didn't expect to hear his own name in the mouth of the handyman.

Is the protagonist of today's rockery chat actually me?

Song Qingyuan stopped with a smile, wanting to hear how they arranged themselves.

I only heard a male voice lowered his voice: "You don't know, in the past few days, there have been rumors in the capital that our Highness has an unusual relationship with King Mobei!"

The one who spoke was Ah Fu who was appointed by King Yan to serve him.

"Really, don't talk nonsense." The other person was a little disbelieving.

"Hey, you son of a bitch! Can this be fake? A few days ago, the emperor went hunting in Beijing. It is said that the king of Mobei ran into our highness's tent every day and stayed for several hours!" Ah Fu who was speaking saw someone Doubtful, he couldn't help raising his voice a little.

"Okay, okay, keep your voice down, be careful that people can hear you." An older person stopped him.

"Then tell me, will we be able to return to Yanyun soon?" asked the person who questioned Ah Fu at first.

"Maybe, if this man in the family really hooks up with Mobei, we don't know what will happen." Another person sighed.

"But I don't really want to go back. The Third Highness has a good temper. He knows that we are spies, and he never bothers us servants. The monthly salary is also high." Ah Fu said a little angrily.

"That's right, if we really go back to Yanyun, there may not be a way for us people to survive."

The person who spoke sighed, and several people fell silent.

Song Qingyuan changed a small path around the rockery, and did not pursue the faults of these people.Although their words were a bit exaggerated, this incident was not groundless.

In the past few days, Qiu Lie has indeed gotten closer to Lian Ti.Even though he even mentioned to visit, but he didn't keep him out of the door, did he?

Song Qingyuan went back to the study and called Jiang Duo over.

"Tell me, there are some rumors about me and the king of Mobei outside recently." Song Qingyuan knocked on the table, "I'm quite courageous, you know you're hiding it from me, huh?"

"The little one doesn't dare." Jiang Duo lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It was General Qin Zizhen who asked the young one not to tell His Highness, for fear that His Highness would be bothered by it."

"No matter what, you shouldn't hide it from me. I'll fine you a month's silver, are you convinced?" Song Qingyuan thought for a while and added: "And Qin Zizhen too. You ask him to meet me at the mansion tomorrow."

No matter what the reason is, it is taboo to secretly conceal information by yourself.Song Qingyuan didn't want to punish them severely, but he had to let them know their mistakes so that they wouldn't dare to do it again next time.

"I know I was wrong, thank you Your Highness for a lighter punishment." Jiang Duo Nuo nodded.

"Okay, now let's talk about the news." Song Qingyuan waved his hand, and the matter was over.

"Return to Your Highness." Jiang Duo said hesitantly: "Now many people say that His Highness is getting close to King Mobei. It is said that Yan Yun is going to join forces with Mobei to annex Southern Zhou."

"It's pure nonsense." Song Qingyuan said bluntly.

If Yanyun and Mobei could annex the Southern Zhou Dynasty together, would he use the mountains and mountains to come to Huijing as a hostage?

Spreading rumors also has to pay attention to the basic law.

"What else?" Song Qingyuan curled his lips, and immediately lost interest in these rumors.

"And... and..." Jiang Duo hesitated for a while, and then he said vigorously: "It is also said that you and the King of Mobei have broken sleeves, and the King of Mobei's alliance this time is to bring you back to Mobei. North!"

"What?" Song Qingyuan was so surprised that his voice was a little higher than usual.

Song Qingyuan couldn't be blamed for this incident.It's not that he hasn't seen the world, it's that he has seen so many strange news in his previous life, and he claims that there is nothing he hasn't seen. Song Qingyuan didn't expect such outrageous rumors to appear.

"The young one also knows that this matter is outrageous, but for some reason, such news spread suddenly. General Qin also sent someone to investigate." Jiang Duo said nervously, for fear that Song Qingyuan would faint if he didn't catch his breath.

"It seems that the water in Mobei is deeper than I imagined."

Seeing Song Qingyuan's pensive look, Jiang Duo couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Song Qingyuan explained in a slow voice: "When most people see me getting close to King Mobei, most of them will only think of the relationship between the two countries. Because in the eyes of ordinary people, I am the third prince of Yanyun first, and Song Qingyuan second. Therefore, the previous rumor is the first thought of a normal person when encountering this matter. As for the rumors about the two of us having broken sleeves, they must have been deliberately spread by someone with a heart."

"I understand," Jiang Duo thought for a moment, "but why is Mo Bei doing it, Your Highness?"

"This rumor affects both me and King Mobei." Song Qingyuan paused, "But he is the one who has the most influence. After all, I am just a proton, and he is the king of a country. If he is suspected of being a broken sleeve, That will definitely have a great impact on the political situation in Mobei."

Jiang Duo couldn't help but nodded frequently.

Song Qingyuan added: "Besides, Yan Yun's hands are not that long, so he can't spread the news in Huijing, so it will not be Yan Yun's people who release the rumors. And Nan Zhou is now mainly appeasing Mo Bei. If Mo Bei The King of the North marched to the Southern Zhou in a rage when he heard the rumor, it was not worth the loss for them, so it would not be the Southern Zhou either."

"Then only Mobei is left!" Jiang Duo exclaimed.

Song Qingyuan nodded, and gloated: "It seems that King Mobei's seat is not as secure as I thought."

Jiang Duo scratched his head, "Your Highness, I'm going to send a message to General Qin."

"No need. It's not too late to punish Qin Zizhen when he comes back. There are more important things waiting for you now." Song Qingyuan withdrew the order in a good mood.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Duo asked with some doubts.

"You send an invitation card to the Mobei King's Mansion now, saying that I will entertain the Mobei King in Furong Pavilion tomorrow." Song Qingyuan told Jiang Duo, "When you come back, please say hello to the boss of Furong Pavilion and ask him The best room on the top floor is reserved for me."

The shopkeeper of Furong Pavilion was met by Song Qingyuan when he went there for dinner.

He quite liked a dish called "Drunk Fragrant Duck" in Furong Pavilion, so he had a chat with the shopkeeper.Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper was also an extremely straightforward person, and he taught him the method of drunk duck without saying a word.In return, Song Qingyuan also taught the shopkeeper a few dishes that are very popular in later generations.

After going back and forth like this, Song Qingyuan and the shopkeeper became good friends.

He was also relieved to choose Furong Pavilion as the meeting place.

Song Qingyuan picked up the cub from the ground, who was about to gnaw on the table legs, and was about to slap it to improve its memory.When I raised my hand, I suddenly thought of the lines that often appeared in those soap operas in my previous life:

"Don't vent your anger on the child, the child is innocent!"

He thought about the scandal about the broken sleeve that he was involved in by Lian mention...

Hey, this line is quite suitable for the current situation.

The banquet for Mobei King was mainly to discuss cooperation with Lian Ti.

Even the invitations that were mentioned in the past few times were fooled by him.But this does not mean that Song Qingyuan does not intend to cooperate with Mobei.

In fact, besides Mobei, he really has no better place to go.It's just that Song Qingyuan is waiting, waiting for him to really understand the internal situation of Mobei, and waiting for the most suitable time.

Now is the real time to negotiate with King Mobei.Song Qingyuan smiled and shook his head, stood up and stretched.

"Your Highness, the villain has finished what you asked the villain to do." A healthy male voice came from outside.

Hearing this, Song Qingyuan raised his head and saw Carpenter Liu waiting at the door, followed by two handymen who presumably moved the cat scratching board.

"Come in." Song Qingyuan waved to him.Carpenter Liu brought the giant cat scratching board with two servants.

"Just put it there." Song Qingyuan pointed to a place, and directed the servant to put the cat scratching board in the corner of the wall next to the low couch.

This corner is spacious enough for the little lion to move around, and it is not far from the bed, so it can see Song Qingyuan when it is playing.

After placing the cat scratching post, Carpenter Liu asked curiously, "I dare to ask, what is the use of this thing?"

Song Qingyuan reached under the low table, pulled out the little lion hiding inside, and rubbed its paw on the scratching board.

"To sharpen the claws of this little thing."

After seeing the animal in Song Qingyuan's arms, Liu Carpenter turned pale with shock and said, "Well, how can His Highness keep such a ferocious beast by his side!"

Song Qingyuan met Carpenter Liu's shocked and terrified eyes, rubbed the lion's head indifferently, and comforted him: "It's docile in nature, but it's not very fierce."

Carpenter Liu lowered his head, seeing the little lion who was rubbing his head under Song Qingyuan's hand just now baring his teeth at him, he didn't know what to say for a moment.He could only nod in embarrassment, and sighed in his heart: As expected of His Royal Highness, Yan Yun's prince, he really is not an ordinary person.

Song Qingyuan didn't know the turmoil in Carpenter Liu's heart, so he got up and took out a rolled-up drawing from the bottom of the bookshelf, and handed it to Carpenter Liu.

It records in detail the length of the most suitable eave angle extension calculated by him after measuring the noon sun height in Huijing area.

Carpenter Liu took the blueprint and carefully thought about the patterns and numbers on it, and he didn't come back to his senses until Song Qingyuan opened his mouth.

"You can take this blueprint and study it first, but this blueprint can only be used near Huijing, and I'm afraid it won't work in another place."

"The villain deserves it!" Hearing this, Carpenter Liu hurriedly bowed and waved his hands.He also built a house with his master before, so he naturally knew how valuable this blueprint was, so he didn't dare to accept it for no reason.

"You don't need to refuse. It's useless for the king to want it. It's just to pass the time when you have nothing to do. If you take it and promote it to the houses of the people, it would be a good thing." Song Qingyuan Consolation said.

"The villain must not hide his secrets, and promote it in the name of His Highness." Carpenter Liu, who was holding the blueprint, was so excited that his voice trembled, and he bowed repeatedly in gratitude.

"No need, I don't intend to name it after myself." Song Qingyuan quickly refused.

Just kidding, it's not something he invented.He just borrowed the achievements of many senior scholars, how dare he take this as his own.

Carpenter Liu stopped talking when he heard the words, bowed his body and said gratefully, "The villain can't think of repaying His Highness's great virtue. If His Highness rebuilds the roof, the little one is willing to help. Don't say anything else, the villain's carpentry work But it's clever!"

In Liu Liu's carpenter's eyes, Song Qingyuan had to repair his house first after getting such a blueprint.

He guessed correctly, Song Qingyuan did draw this blueprint at the beginning with the intention of transforming his palace.

But now, it seems to be useless.

Song Qingyuan nodded with a smile, and glanced at the exquisitely crafted cat scratching posts on the ground, "The things you made are indeed exquisite and beautiful. If the king needs you, he will send someone to look for you."

"Hey, good. The little one will leave." Carpenter Liu cupped his hands and left the study.

The author says:

The two will meet tomorrow!

-

A few chapters have been changed today and some content has been added, otherwise some people might really think that King Mobei is a love-brained fool.

But in fact, those who claim to be kings and emperors and achieve great achievements are not necessarily ruthless people, but they must be calm and sober enough.

Although in the end Lian Ti degenerated into a fool who only had his wife in his mind, but at that time, Mr. Song had already governed the world for him, so he could lie flat.

This shows one thing: the brain will indeed degenerate if it is not used.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
