The merman brother bit me again

Chapter 218 My lord and him... are evenly matched.

At this time, in the Palace of Mental Cultivation.

In front of the window hangs an exquisite and gorgeous birdcage, in which a beautiful thrush is imprisoned.

Wen Cheng was sitting on the window sill, with his head slightly lowered, stretching his fingers leisurely to tease the thrush in the cage.

Ting Yu, the bodyguard behind him, was reporting: "Your Majesty, the National Teacher has returned to Beijing."

"Did you come back today?"

Wen Cheng asked casually, and fed the thrush himself.

Ting Yu nodded and said: "Yes, this subordinate personally saw the Master of the National Teacher returned to Beijing and went back to the National Teacher's Mansion directly."

"Hmm..." Wen Cheng spread out the bird food in his palm, let Thrush lower his head to peck at it, thought for a while and said, "Let's invite the national teacher to the palace for dinner tomorrow, I haven't chatted with the national teacher for a long time. "

Ting Yu hesitated, after all, she was a bodyguard who grew up serving Wen Cheng since she was a child, and she was a little more courageous, so she couldn't help but whispered: "Your Majesty, the National Teacher has been traveling abroad for two years, and now you have returned to Beijing. If you don't hold the national teacher accountable, but invite her to the palace for a meal, I'm afraid the outside world will..."

Hearing this, Wen Cheng couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Do you really think that Lin Weixu has been out for two years just touring the mountains?"

Tingyu guessed in perplexity, but didn't dare to ask in detail.

At this time, the feed in Wen Cheng's palm was also finished, Wen Cheng picked up the square handkerchief that had been put aside, wiped his soiled fingers bit by bit, and continued: "That's just an illusion for the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. The many places she has been to in the past two years are located in the remote areas of Daqin, where there are perennial famines, and there are very few trade routes. However, I sent people to visit and investigate the places she visited. Almost every place is in What do you think Lin Weixu is planning for the construction of water projects?"

Tingyu answered hesitantly, "Win... the hearts of the local people?"

Wen Cheng smiled: "For the sake of the hearts of the people in remote areas, you lost the hearts of the people in the capital? Do you think Lin Weixu's brain is not working?"

Ting Yu lowered her head again: "This subordinate is dull."

"If it were Royal Father, I would definitely think that she is gradually expanding her power. But I got a different answer from a letter. Lin Weixu's ambitions are not limited to Daqin."

"Among the kingdoms of the Kyushu, the reason why the Great Qin ranks as the second largest country has always been due to its frighteningly strong military strength throughout the ages, but in fact, the Great Qin's trade transportation is even worse than that of the third-ranked Beizhao. Lin Weixu wanted Great Qin to be stronger, so he acted secretly in the past two years, trying to build a blocked route to other countries."

"As for why we don't let the people in the capital know, to put it bluntly, which country doesn't have the enemy's eyeliner? If those countries think that our Great Qin State Master has really been doing nothing for the past two years, it's not a way to hide his strength. The way? It would be nice to catch them off guard after those water projects are completed."

After listening to this explanation, Tingyu suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

"It's my subordinates who are narrow-minded and short-sighted."

Wen Cheng didn't care about him, but looked at the thrush with fluttering feathers in the cage, remembered something, and asked, "Have you delivered the gift I asked you to send to Tiansi Pavilion?"

"Return to Your Majesty, your subordinate has already sent it."

Wen Cheng stretched out his fingers to caress Thrush's wings, and then asked: "What did Tian Si say?"

Ting Yu replied truthfully: "Lin Tiansi is still the same as before, and only said to his subordinates 'Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward'."

Wen Cheng was not in a hurry, and took down the delicate and beautiful birdcage, his attitude was still warm and indifferent, "Send this thrush to Tiansi Pavilion tomorrow."

Wen Cheng has always been patient, and the same is true for the prey he is bound to catch.

When Lin Weixu returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, he originally wanted to go back to the Mu Garden to take a rest before thinking about other things, but it happened that Xu Bai had something to report to her, so Lin Weixu had to go back to the Book Pavilion first and sit down. While drinking tea, he listened to Xu Bai's report.

But among the things Xu Bai reported, there was one new thing that caught Lin Weixu's attention.

According to Xu Bai, she went out to play for about a year, and the new emperor deposed the old minister of the previous dynasty and appointed a new one.

I don't know his name, but I only know him as Lan Xiang.

This Lan Xiang is strange because no one in the Manchu Dynasty has seen him, even the new emperor has never seen him.

Only when it comes to key state affairs, will the Lan Xiang's memorandum appear in the government hall.

And the content on the notebook must have a strategic plan for the new emperor to decide.

But having said that, Daqin has never seen anything like this in the hundreds of years since its founding...

Because of this, during the long period of Lin Weixu's departure from the capital, the common people not only talked a lot about her, the idle national teacher, but also discussed the newly appointed mysterious blue minister on weekdays.

The common people's comments on Lan Xiang also have praises and criticisms. Some say that Lan Xiang is superior in strategy on key state affairs, and some say that Lan Xiang is too arrogant and arrogant than the former national teacher. At any rate, he was willing to show his face, but Lan Xiang never showed his face to others...

"Wait a minute..." Lin Weixu couldn't help interrupting Xu Bai, "So I didn't do anything now, and I have already changed the people's opinion of me with this new prime minister, right?"

Xu Bai looked at Master Guoshi, hesitant to speak: "This..."

"Are you trying to say that I am on par with this newcomer?"

Xu Bai thought about it and changed it to a better word, "My lord and him... are evenly matched."

"Okay, as long as this person doesn't do anything that endangers Great Qin, I don't care if the new emperor chooses whomever he likes."

When Lin Weixu said this, just as he was about to let Xu Bai retreat, a guard came over to report that the emperor had sent someone over to invite the National Teacher to enter the palace for dinner tomorrow.

Lin Weixu was not surprised when she heard that, after all, she had been away from Beijing for so long, and she had to go to the palace to give the emperor an explanation.

Therefore, Lin Weixu agreed.

Tiansi Pavilion.

On this day, Karen Lin received another gift from the new emperor.

The gifts sent by the new emperor before were very precious, and Lin Qingyou couldn't refuse them, so she could only put those gifts in the Star Pavilion, but what was different from the past was that what His Majesty gave her this time was a thrush .

Being locked in a cage, alive and kicking, is especially beautiful.

Lin Qingyou was immediately attracted by this thrush.

Moreover, Lin Qingyou also learned from Ting Yu who came to give her a thrush bird that Lin Weixu had just returned to Beijing today.

Tingyu said that His Majesty was afraid that Tiansi would miss his sister, so he specially asked him to tell Tiansi.

Lin Qingyou watched Tingyu ride away on horseback, heading for Tiansi Pavilion.

She lowered her head and hugged the gorgeous birdcage, looking at the thrush in the cage with an absent-minded look.
