On the third floor, in the window box.

Wei Shaoqi was very thick-skinned. He suppressed his awkward expression as if nothing happened and continued to laugh:

"Miss Qin is joking, there are specialties in martial arts, and there are few people in this dynasty's army who know more about soldiers than Old General Qin.

"Your Majesty and the other officials in the Political Affairs Hall trust General Qin, so they feel confident in entrusting him with important tasks.

"Not everyone can compare to a famous general like General Qin who has never been born in the world. Ouyang Lianghan can't get involved."

Qin Ying was noncommittal and asked directly:

"Wei Shaoqi, this is what you told me a few days ago, the opportunity that is beneficial to the Zhou Dynasty? Is it to have the imperial court shut down the Xunyang Grottoes and move the Giant Buddha to Xingzifang?"

Wei Shaoqi said calmly:

"That's right, I invited Miss Qin to come here this time to discuss this matter. I heard that Ouyang Lianghan had previously invited your Qin family to donate a sum of money to the Xunyang Grottoes to share your Majesty's worries.

"But now, seeing that the Xunyang Grottoes are about to be shut down, and we don't know when we can continue to build them, I, Governor Wang, and Jiangnan Superintendent Lin Cheng are all a little apologetic and worried about this.

"But don't worry, Miss Qin. Please wait a moment. I'll introduce you to Lin Cheng, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River. He is also a young and handsome man. He is definitely not inferior to Ouyang Lianghan, and even better.

.

"This wonderful plan to move the Donglin Giant Buddha to Xingzifang to relieve His Majesty's worries was initiated by Brother Lin and was highly praised by my father and Uncle Wang.

"He is also very concerned about the Qin family's losses at the Xunyang Grottoes, and he proposed a small plan to me yesterday...

"The general meaning is that the previous investment in Xunyang Grottoes can bring returns to the Qin family, and now the Xingzifang statue can also bring them, no matter whether it is added to the top of the medal of praise submitted by Jiangzhou after the completion of the giant Buddha,

It’s still a real profit of silver.

"Especially the latter, the income is definitely several times that of Xunyang Grottoes. As long as the Qin family follows the plan provided by Brother Lin, there is actually no need to invest much... Well, now with Brother Lin's advice and assistance,

, acquire some low-priced land in Xingzifang..."

Wei Shaoqi is good at guiding people step by step, moving them to "benefit" and knowing how to "benefit" them.

Outside the window, the unexpected storm at Xunyang Ferry seemed to be over for the time being.

Qin Ying didn't know when she got up, but she had already turned her head, stared at Wei Shaoqi for a while, and asked:

"It's beneficial to the Zhou Dynasty? It's beneficial to the country and the people? Why didn't I see it?"

Wei Shaoqi rolled his eyes and immediately said with determination:

"Miss Qin, this Ouyang Changshi is very famous and is also a popular celebrity in the circle of ladies in Luoyang, so you will inevitably have a preconceived impression of him, but some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

"The so-called benefiting the country and the people has a priority. Benefit the country first, then benefit the people. If there is no country, what is the use of benefiting the people? Will we still have to suffer from wars and disputes?

"Ouyang Lianghan is indeed good at doing things that benefit the people, but that doesn't mean that His Majesty and the political ministers are wrong. Your Majesty and the political ministers are from a higher perspective, leading the overall situation, and having a commanding position... Xingzi

The same is true for the statues in the square. They are based on the interests of the Zhou Dynasty. Isn't this something that is beneficial to the Zhou Dynasty?"

Qin Ying frowned slightly and looked at Wei Shaoqi who was talking incessantly.

The latter looked serious, but in his heart he gave a thumbs up to a certain future brother-in-law who came up with the idea.

Fortunately, Lin Cheng was smart and knew exactly what to eat. Miss Qin was straightforward and jealous of evil, so she provided him with many words to deal with in advance...

Qin Ying was silent for a while and nodded gently:

"You don't need to talk too much to the little girl. Everything at home is decided by Ah Weng. Mr. Wei and Lin Cheng's plan. I will tell Ah Weng when I get back. As for Lin Cheng, the little girl won't wait. If you have something else to do, go ahead.

step."

Wei Shaoqi felt happy at first, then he caught up and asked:

"Where are you going, Miss Qin? Are you going out to the city to hunt? I just have nothing to do today, why don't we come together..."

Qin Ying didn't look back and said:

"I'm used to being alone. From now on, Mr. Wei, don't come here for autumn hunting."

"...??" Wei Shaoqi.

Not long after, Queen Qin Ying was sent away.

Wei Shaoqi returned to the box, frowning, but still couldn't think of a reason.

How come you are so good-natured and have such a cold attitude?

Could it be that he said the wrong thing?

"Forget it, it doesn't matter that this little girl has a fickle personality. What's important is the Qin family. If Mr. Qin can nod his parents' orders to find a matchmaker, she has to marry even if she doesn't want to, huh..."

Wei Shaoqi turned around, went to another box next door, and found Wei Anhui who was waiting.

With the lessons learned from the last time, this time, Wei Shaoqi placed two female guards beside his cousin to prevent some blind guy from walking into the box to drink tea.

Wei Shaoqi and Wei Anhui went downstairs together, boarded the carriage, and returned to the Xiushifang mansion.

On the way, Wei Shaoqi asked casually:

"Lin Cheng didn't come just now?"

Wei Anhui seemed a little distracted and shook his head:

"without."

"You should be busy. Brother Lin guessed right. This Ouyang Lianghan is really a smelly and hard stone in the pit. He dares to resist the order in public and refuse to obey the order to the death."

Wei Shaoqi sneered:

"Some things won't weigh more than a few kilograms if they don't go on the scale, and even if they weigh a thousand kilograms on the scale, they won't be able to stop them. This time, I have to make him shed his skin even if he doesn't die..."

Wei Anhui came to his senses and asked in a low voice: "Third brother, why does he dare to violate the imperial edict in public? Isn't this a matter of beheading?"

"You know, you're just stupid."

Wei Shaoqi asked again: "Did you just see it at the window?"

"Um."

Wei Anhui nodded:

"I remember him, this Ouyang Changshi, the last time he and Mr. Li were together, and later when we ran a porridge shed together, Mr. Li told me that Ouyang Changshi was his good friend and one of the people he admired most in his life.

It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and the people around Mr. Li are indeed good."

Wei Shaoqi's forehead throbbed with veins: "You still mentioned him!"

Wei Anhui shut up immediately.

Wei Shaoqi said seriously to Wei Anhui:

"Qiniang, Ouyang Lianghan just slandered my father, your uncle Wang, in public. Not to mention that Lin Cheng was also slandered by him. Do you feel sorry for him?"

Wei Anhui was quiet for a while and suddenly said:

"But he seems to be a good official."

Wei Shaoqi said with a straight face: "How do you know? Don't be fooled by appearances!"

Wei Anhui suddenly pointed to the street outside and said:

"because this."

Wei Shaoqi looked back and saw that the carriage had stopped at some point.

Outside the window, the street where the Supervisory Yuan is located is crowded with people, all of whom are Xunyang people.

Wei Shaoqi's eyelids jumped...

at dusk.

The Street Office of the Supervisory Yuan where the people were finally evacuated.

A gray-haired old eunuch walked out of the door with a worried expression, and an imperial edict in his hand was still not accepted by anyone.

Even the two words that the man calmly uttered just now were still in his ears.

"False edict."

The old eunuch quickly went to Xunyangdu to board the ship.

The eunuch from Luoyang came and went in a hurry.

…

A few days later.

Luoyang, Shangyang Palace, a certain palace.

An old woman in dragon robe sat high up, seemingly closing her eyes to meditate.

"Fake edict?"

"Yes, this man spoke falsely in public."

The female historian Caishang, who had a mole at the corner of her mouth, held a stack of memorials in her hand and said with a straight face.

The old woman in the dragon robe smiled with her eyes closed.

He raised the index finger with the jade ring on the armrest of the dragon chair.
