Chapter 234: Never bow your head! Never retreat! Never apologize!

After Qin Lei promised to keep his mood happy, Wen Yantao cooperated to return to the class, without mentioning the crimes and appointments of the governor of the South. Seeing that the Lord retreated, the officials who followed the proposal also retreated in shame, and the court continued.

Next, Qin Lei was not interested in the river work disaster relief. So he closed his eyes slightly to calm down. Only then did he find that Li Taiwei was standing diagonally opposite him, his eyes half open and half closed, exactly the same as him. Feeling Qin Lei's gaze, Old Li raised his head and eyelids slightly, and the murderous aura in his eyes flashed. He immediately closed his eyes again and went to Taixu.

Qin Lei curled his lips and closed his eyes to find the man surnamed Zhou to play chess. The two of them were playing tragically, and then the third brother whispered: "Fifth brother, fifth brother..."

Qin Lei quickly opened his eyes, and saw that all the officials in the audience looked at him with a smile on their faces. Then the third brother said in a low voice: "Tian Minnong asks you about the south." Qin Lei nodded slightly and bowed to Emperor Zhaowu, "Please forgive me for your sins. The child was exhausted and was a little distracted."

Emperor Zhaowu said with concern: "Can the rain field support it? Let's go to the back hall to rest first." The kind father's affection was beyond words.

Qin Lei shook his head and said resolutely: "My father often teaches children to put state affairs first. How can children miss big things because of a small problem? Don't worry, children can hold on!"

Emperor Zhaowu praised: "My son is worthy of the example of the royal family and the role model of all officials. He has not disappointed me."

The officials below quickly agreed, "The prince devoted himself to his work and was a role model for us..." But in his heart, he was disdainful of the shamelessness of the two men. Isn't it just a meeting to sleep? Who hasn't? He was like he sacrificed his life for the country.

Since he had said this, Tian Minnong naturally had to compliment His Highness Prince Long first, and then respectfully said: "Prince, Your Majesty, please determine the taxes of the two southern provinces next year. I would like to ask you what your opinions?"

Qin Lei smiled and said, "I wonder what Lord Tian's opinion?"

Tian Minnong bowed: "Considering the actual situation in the south, the Prime Minister and our Ministry of Revenue have discussed that the summer tax can be reduced by half next year and the autumn tax will be collected as usual."

Qin Lei raised his eyebrows and asked lightly: "I wonder how much disaster relief funds the Ministry of Revenue has allocated to the South, and how much more are planned to allocate?"

"Well..." Tian Minnong stammered: "You also know that the treasury has just gotten out of trouble and is still too busy to take care of itself, but there is no spare time to help the local area."

Qin Lei said 'oh' and smiled, "Congratulations to Lord Tian, ​​congratulations to Lord Tian, ​​finally solved the number one problem of our Qin Dynasty. Xiao Wang was very curious, how did you solve it?"

"Prince, this seems to have nothing to do with what to say." However, Wen Mingli was afraid that Qin Lei would take Tian Minnong to the gutter, so he couldn't help but interrupt.

Qin Lei frowned unhappily and said, "You are your surname? Do you work in that department? Are you satisfied with your salary? Do you want to change the environment?"

"This, that..." Wen Mingli was confused by him. After a while, he realized and said disdainfully: "Please ask the prince to bring some real things. Don't always make jokes and make people laugh." Since he became an official, he has been under the protection of his father and brother. Although he is at least a noble, he still can't hold back his anger as he was a young man.

Qin Lei stared at him for a while, and he looked at Qin Lei without fear. After a long time, Qin Lei said coldly: "You want to laugh at me?" The question was so vicious that no matter how Wen Mingli answered, he would inevitably fall into his trap. If he said yes, it would be disrespectful to the prince. If he said no...

Wen Mingli said no, he was completely brainless, and he also knew that the court should respect the prince in person. After thinking about it, he said guiltily: "I don't mean that," he said with a slight thought.

"What does that mean?" Qin Lei was right and didn't let anyone know.

"Wei Chen means..." Wen Mingli said depressedly.

"What are you saying? I don't think you can say it well." Qin Lei continued to snatch the white spot.

Wen Mingli was so aggrieved that she said pitifully: "Can you let me finish it?"

Qin Lei nodded, imitating his tone, and said pitifully: "Can you let me finish it?"

Wen Mingli realized that he had also fallen into the cunning prince's verbal trap. He couldn't help but regret why he forced himself to make such a head, so he could only hesitate: "Please say..." After that, he returned to the train, lowered his head and dared not raise it.

Qin Lei wanted to take good care of him, but the important thing was important, so he had to wait for the next time. He looked back at Tian Minnong and smiled and said, "Mr. Tian, ​​let's continue to say, what tricks did you use to help the treasury survive the crisis? Orphans can teach the group of little bastards in the south so that they can not cry and be poor all day long." This point out the difficult situation in the south, and imply his close relationship with the south, which made Tian Minnong hesitate.

Qin Lei also knew the principle of "one fence and three stakes". Although he did not expect others to help him, since he still had to stay in Beijing, he could not be so stale with everyone, otherwise it would be strange if he was not stormed by these people in the future. Therefore, he was urged to beat Tian and mercy the farmers while suppressing him and said gently: "The past is history, so it's okay not to mention it. But Lord Tian thinks about the current situation in the south, and it's better not to fish out and let them take a rest... It's a Lone King beg you." In the end, he remembered the scene of tens of thousands of elders sending him to the Jingzhou Ferry. For these people who trust him, what's the harm that the Lone King was even wronged? Thinking of this, Qin Lei's voice became softer, and he said the word "please" for the first time in his life.

Not only in this life, it seems that he never said this word in his previous life. Today, for a group of people who rely on him, he finally broke the creed of "just give but not ask for" that he had persisted for decades.

Tian Minnong felt Qin Lei's strong feelings and knew that what he said was a matter, but yesterday the Prime Minister told him that he had to do it. After struggling for a long time, he said hard: "I am very considerate of the difficulties in the prince and the south, but the court system cannot be abolished, otherwise where is the tax? How to support the army? The Qin Dynasty will be in danger." It seems that the bigger the official, the stronger the ability to exaggerate. Give him a fulcrum, and he dares to say that he can pry up the sun; if he put a few pressure on his palms, he dares to say that he is raping the earth.

At this time, Che Weiguo, the Minister of War, also came out and said, "Yes, the Ministry of Revenue still owes our army more than 2 million taels of salary. If we continue to drag it next season, the army's combat power will be worrying."

When Qin Lei saw that the people from the Li family also spoke, he finally understood that they were not trying to reorganize the two southern provinces, but they wanted to clean up their own king, and tens of millions of elders were going to be implicated by him. This understanding made him much easier. He looked at Tian Minnong with bright eyes and smiled and said, "Since Minnong is ignorant, the Gu Wang will add another prince to the next word "Please."

"What is that?" Tian Minnong was a little confused, and then heard Wen Mingyi whisper, "Ball."

"Ball?" Tian Minnong said in a lost voice, "Why is the prince cursing?"

Qin Lei laughed and said, "Your Majesty asks for someone is the ball, you'll be the ball..." His smile stopped abruptly, and he changed into a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Mr. Tian even sends people to the south to collect taxes, I believe they will be best treated!" The last few words gritted their teeth, as if they were going to eat Tian Minnong.

Tian Minnong suddenly remembered that this old man had just cleaned up the Dali Temple that was in trouble a few hours ago. Perhaps he would touch his home tonight. He couldn't help but swallow his mouth and squirt, and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty, don't be angry? If you have something to say, you can discuss it." It can be seen that Qin Lei's image as a butcher is quite popular, at least his threat is very useful.

Wen Yanbo coughed lightly, but Tian Minnong didn't hear it. He said to Qin Lei: "This matter is indeed a matter of inappropriate officials. Please allow the officials to go back and think about it again, and strive to come up with a solution that satisfies all parties. Is it okay?" This is the helplessness of being an official in troubled times, and this is the sorrow of a martial man as a country. Lord Tian sighed in his heart that if he provoked the prime minister, he will be deposed at most, but if he provoked a violent man like Qin Lei, he would lose his head.

Wen Yanbo looked a little ugly, and he stood there and bowed slightly to Emperor Zhaowu, saying, "I have a report to you, and I have to report it."

Emperor Zhaowu seemed a little tired and said in a deep voice: "The last issue is here, let's hand memorials if you have something to do." It was the end of Chen, and the court meeting that had been held for nearly two and a half hours was dragged down for more than half an hour than usual. The legs of the officials standing were numb, and their abdomen were hungry, and they all claimed goodness when they heard this.

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Then let the old minister get this finale. It's not new. It's about His Highness Prince Jian."

Qin Lei's eyes narrowed and he stared at Wen Yanbo coldly. Seeing what tricks he was going to play, Qin Lei was already angry. This old guy didn't keep his promise at all and actually wanted to talk to the fourth brother again!

However, Qin Lei's unkind eyes could not scare the prime minister of the dynasty who had been standing in the midst of tens of years. Wen Yanbo said leisurely: "The old minister does not want to discuss whether Prince Jian has ever done despicable things such as forcing the robbery of the civilian daughter or taking away land. I just want to remind Lord Qu that the Ministry of Revenue's deficit of millions of taels cannot be faked, and the property worth more than 2 million taels of silver found in Prince Jian's mansion is also true."

As he spoke, he joked: "I wonder if Lord Qu, a law-abiding prince, even if he takes the position of the head of the inner government and the assistant director of the Ministry of Revenue, how much time will it take to save these two million taels of silver?"

Qu Yan said respectfully: "Report to the Prime Minister, the prince's rank is 15,000 taels per year, and the position of the head of the inner government can earn 5,000 taels per year, and the assistant department of the Ministry of Revenue also has an income of 2,000 taels. That is to say, the normal income of His Royal Highness Prince Jian is about 22,000 taels of silver for the whole year, and it will take about ninety years to save these 2 million taels."

Wen Yanbo nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Qu," and looked at Qin Lei again, and said with a sarcastic look: "Prince, how do you explain this huge property?" At the end of the political struggle, you always have to use huge property to explain the source and the matter. Everyone has property that cannot be explained, and there are all handles. As long as you are defeated politically, you will be caught. There are few times when you can't catch it. It is indeed convenient and practical, and very reliable!

Qin Lin looked at Qin Lei with a gray face, and saw him also with a gloomy face and asked in a cold voice: "What else does the Prime Minister want to criticize me? Let's talk together?"

Wen Yanbo smiled elegantly: "Isn't this enough?"

"That means there is no more?" Qin Lei's face was still cold.

"It's gone." Since my daughter is back, Wen Yanbo's resentment towards the fourth child is slightly lighter, and his desire to go to hell is not that strong. Moreover, in the eyes of a person like Wen Yanbo who regards political life more than real life, it is easier to ruin Qin Ji's future and cut off all the possibility of his comeback than killing him.

Qin Lei looked at the third brother. The third brother nodded with difficulty and said slowly: "As long as the Prime Minister promises not to pursue Qin Lin's problem, I promised as his brother..." As he said that, he looked back at Emperor Zhaowu, and saw that the supreme face was as gloomy as water, but he had no intention of speaking for him. Qin Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said in a stern voice: "Qin Ji will ask himself to remove the title of Prince, resign from all positions, and will not be responsible for his life!" At the end of his words, Qin Ji's eyes were already red, but his face turned purple, and he felt a bone-broken cold.

At this time, a pair of warm big hands held Qin Ji's cold hands. It was Qin Lei. He held Qin Ji's hands, his voice was like the bitter cold wind in the north. Word by word, he said with a cold chill: "Who dares to talk about Qin Lin again? Only once, the Lone King will let him die without a place to bury him!" Everyone, including the censors of the Censorate, could deeply feel the decisive murderous aura in Prince Long's tone!

Wen Yanbo smiled and was about to speak when he heard Qin Lei's voice explode and said, "Including you, Wen Yanbo!"

Wen Yanbo's expression suddenly turned into a purple purple, and he said angrily: "I am the elder of the three dynasties, the chief assistant of the country, and you are the teachers. Why do you call the teacher's name directly?" The situation on the court suddenly became tense.

Seeing the teacher slamming the table, hundreds of civil servants came out and said in unison: "Please apologize to the prime minister!"

Li Hun curled his lips and shook his head to stop the movement of the military officers behind him, and looked lively on the side.

Time should be frozen at this moment, the moment when Qin Lei and one of the two giants confront each other head-on for the first time...

At this moment, hundreds of civil servants wearing purple and red official robes stood firmly behind Wen Yanbo as they had done countless times before, and used the power of the group to fight against the violent.

At this moment, a young king in a black robe pressed his hand on the sword at his waist with one hand and held the hands of the brothers behind him with the other, staring at hundreds of eyes below the imperial stairs without fear.

At this moment, Qin Lin stood behind Qin Lei, tears flowing down, but his fists were clenched tightly. He knew that he would never forget this moment in this life. This scene would never forget the younger brother in front of him who stood up for the two brothers. His back was so straight and his body was so burly and wide! Qin Lin finally made up his mind that after this game, no matter what the result was, his choice would never change again!

At this moment, on the high imperial steps behind the two, there was a prince standing. His face was dark and his heart was obviously struggling. He was a person who always had self-protection. He absolutely firmly believed that as long as he was alive, there would be hope, so he carefully put away his feathers and never had any ulterior motives. As long as he felt that the situation would be unfavorable to him, he would not stand up. However, today, looking at the two younger brothers standing proudly under the steps, and watching them and the fearless team of civil servants in the court, Qin Ting's creed loosened for the first time. He felt that a fire that had already been extinguished was rekindled in his heart, and the fire was also called - Blood!

At this moment, behind the three sons, on the high dragon throne, was a Emperor of Qin. His face was still gloomy, but a faint flame had already ignited in his eyes. He would not be as excited as his three sons. But at this moment, in the eyes of the supreme Emperor of Qin, the imperial stairs were like a small boat carrying the Qin royal family, struggling hard in the storm. He suddenly laughed silently - it was time to do something, otherwise the limelight would be snatched away by the little ghosts.

At this moment, in the eyes of nearly a hundred military officers, the civil servants who were huddling together once again bullied the disarray of royals. They had a mentality of watching the play, waiting for the repertoire of the plays that had been staged countless times.

Fortunately, a new star was added inside. The military officers said gladly, but they sighed extremely tiredly, internal struggle! Internal struggle! Civil strife! When will it be the end?

Some people also turned their attention to the young prince who caused trouble, wanting to see if he could create miracles as always, but they were surprised to find that Prince Long in the eyes of the storm was extremely calm, as if he was walking in his own yard.

But in those eagle eyes - the infinite fighting spirit is burning!
