Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 217 Theory of Governance (Revised)

Shen Yan walked in to meet the crowd, and not long after entering the station, he felt a cold light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and he instantly raised his vigilance.

"Protect the princess!" Someone shouted in the post station, and there was a lot of fighting.

assassin? !
The corners of Ling An's mouth curled up, and his hands touched his waist.In an instant, everyone felt a flash of coldness, and Princess Ling'an rushed out. The originally inextricable scene of fighting suddenly turned into a one-sided situation.Ling'an twisted his wrist quickly, pulling up sword flowers one after another.

"Bold thief, dare to assassinate this princess." Ling An swung his sword fiercely, and rushed towards the assassin.

"Princess be careful." Behind him, Luwu sent a sword into the assassin's chest.

Shen Yan stared dumbfounded while beating, this, this Nima is still a princess, don't be too tough.The master and servants cooperated very tacitly, and soon, a small group of assassins were all killed.

Ling An handed the sword to Jin Xiu, turned around and lifted his lips in a sneer, "Master Shen, the state of Chu is in such turmoil, this princess really sympathizes with you!"

Shen Yan was silent for a moment, and he didn't expect... Princess Qin was surrounded by assassins as soon as she arrived at the inn. If all the girls and women around her were not good at martial arts, the consequences would be unimaginable. He opened his mouth, just about to explain , was interrupted by Ling An waving.

"As for the matter of assassins, I hope that your country can give me an explanation, otherwise, our Qin royal family will never let it go!" After finishing speaking, Caixiu turned around and left.

"Lord Lin, look..." Seeing that Ling'an couldn't work out, Shen Yan had no choice but to save the country.

Lin Feng'an stopped with a troubled expression on his face. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just sighed heavily and followed Ling'an into the inn.

Shen Yan's heart trembled for a while, he turned his head and confessed a few words, and hurriedly ran towards the direction of Prince Yan's mansion.

Although Qu You yelled that Chu's honor had nothing to do with her, she still cared about this four-nation summit in her heart.After breakfast, she took a few maids and headed towards the East Courtyard of Prince Rui's Mansion.There are a lot of things going on recently, there is a big wedding, and a palace banquet, so I don't have time to pay attention to her father, and I don't know... How is his review going.

"Mother, isn't my father here?" Entering the inner room, looking at the room where there was only Wang Shi, Qu You couldn't help asking in doubt.

"Your father is in the small study." Wang did not look up, still embroidering the brocade handkerchief in her hand.

Qu You moved forward curiously, "Mother, this is..."

"Qingyuan took a new job, and my mother saw that the pattern was very novel, so she embroidered it." Said, Wang handed the brocade handkerchief in her hand to her daughter.

Snow Wolf——

Qu You was afraid of making a mistake, she was holding a brocade handkerchief in her hand, tossing it back and forth, only rubbing a piece of fine silk into wrinkles.Wang snatched back the Jinpa distressedly, "Quick, get me hot water and a porcelain bowl."

"Mom, why do you want hot water?" Qu You asked.

"If you don't iron the brocade handkerchief properly, how can Jinxiu Workshop deal with customers." After speaking, Wang gave Qu You an angry look.

Ho... It's her fault too.

"Mother, did Qingyuan ever tell you what this customer looks like?"

"I said so." Wang nodded.

"Describe it to your daughter."

Mrs. Wang pondered for a moment, and couldn't help recalling slowly, "Fang Zheng has a big face, a beard, speaks loudly, and has a strong foreign accent. Anyway, he is not from our Chu country."

After listening, Qu You nodded calmly.According to her understanding, what Wang said should be people from the Qi country. Among all the countries in Qi today, only the people from the Qi country have square faces and beards.However, how could the Qi people hand over the business to Jinxiufang...

After thinking about it for a while, but still not knowing what to do, Qu You simply stopped thinking about it. Qu You got up and patted the skirt of his clothes, then walked outside, "Mother, you are busy first, I'll go find Dad."

"Your father is in the small study." Wang called.

"Understood." Qu You waved his hand, leading a few girls towards the small study.

For the four-nation summit, Qu Dongsheng spent day and night in the small study, forgetting to sleep and eat, studying the Chinese classics, that kind of persistent spirit is simply breathtaking.

"Father..." As soon as he stepped into the door of the small study, Qu You shouted loudly.

There was silence in the room, no one answered.Could it be that father (master) is not in the small study?The master and servant looked at each other, and retracted the legs that had just stepped into the room.

"Hey, dad is here." Qu Dongsheng's voice came from inside the house.

Qu You breathed a sigh of relief, she lowered her head and searched for the source of the sound, and finally found someone on the side of a sandalwood bookshelf.I saw that Qu Dongsheng's fair face was covered with dust, and the neat robe was also wrinkled.She waved quickly, signaling Huanshan and Lingyou to help Qu Dongsheng up.

"Father, what are you doing hiding here?" Seeing Qu Dongsheng's scruffy appearance, Qu You frowned silently.

Qu Dongsheng shyly brushed off the thin dust on the front of his shirt, "This classic of Chinese studies is a bit difficult to understand. Dad is looking for classics and wants to find out the source."

Qu You nodded, and helped him walk towards the table, "Where do you see now?"

"I've read them all, but it's a bit difficult to get them together."

Whoops, that's all.Qu You couldn't help but opened his mouth wide. He was still an ancient man, and his reading speed was much faster than modern people's. It can be said that he can see ten lines at a glance.

"Father, if there are no accidents, the envoys from the four countries should enter Beijing today."

today--

Qu Dongsheng raised his head in surprise, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Then, when will the competition start?"

"Not yet decided, but..." Qu You looked at Qu Dongsheng hesitantly.

"But what?" Qu Dongsheng asked impatiently.

Qu You looked back at Huanshan, Huanshan understood, turned around and left the room with Lingyou and the others.

"The test questions have been leaked." After Qu You finished speaking, he glanced at his father from the corner of his eye.

Ah—this, this test question can also be leaked.Qu Dongsheng suddenly became a little anxious, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is this who received a thousand knives, leaking questions before the four-nation summit, is simply a traitor."

"Father, just read the book now and master all the things you don't understand. When the time comes, my daughter will make you shine." Qu You patted her chest and promised.

Qu Dongsheng nodded calmly, and then devoted himself to the book. He didn't even notice when Qu You left.

Shen Yan rushed to Prince Yan's mansion impatiently, before he could say a few words, he saw the two of them leaving the mansion quickly and heading towards Prince Rui's mansion.

"Is your lord there?" Arriving at Prince Rui's mansion, Chu Xu grabbed a servant and asked casually.

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Yan, I have seen Shen Shizi." Seeing the people, the servant who was caught quickly knelt down.

Chu Xu waved his hand, his expression full of impatience, "I am asking once, is your lord in the mansion."

The servant froze, shaking like a sieve, "The king, the prince is not in the mansion."

Chu Xu let go of his hand, and pushed forward vigorously, "Get lost..."

The servant was so frightened that he rolled and crawled away.

Shen Yan scratched her head irritably, drawing circles on the spot. "Why is Brother Jiu not in the mansion at such a critical moment, what should we do now?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Chu Xu replied angrily.

Shen Yan pushed down the potted plant by the side of the road violently, making a muffled 'bang'.

"What sound?" Qu You, who was passing by the door, was startled.

"It seems to be the sound of porcelain falling to the ground." Lingyou listened carefully.

"Go...go and have a look."

The master and servant followed the sound all the way, and when they reached the corner of the outer courtyard, Qu You suddenly stopped.That's... King Yan and Shen Yan, she must have read it wrong.Thinking about it, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

"Sister-in-law Nine." Shen Yan spotted Qu You with sharp eyes.

Emma, ​​it really is them.However, weren't they ordered to receive the envoys of the four countries?While thinking, Qu You walked over suspiciously.

"Hi, what a coincidence."

"Unfortunately, this is your mansion."

Ah... That's right, this is Prince Rui's Mansion, it's her home!Thinking about it, Qu You puffed out her chest, and looked down at Chu Xu and the two of them like a hostess.

"Tell me, what can you do?"

"Lao Jiu is not in the house?" Chu Xu asked.

"No, I left after breakfast, busier than the police."

police?what is that-

Just as Chu Xu wanted to ask, he was interrupted by Qu You waving his hand, "Aren't you investigating the leak, why come here when you have time?"

"Do you know about the leak?" Chu Xu asked.

"I know." Qu You nodded, who can hide such a big matter, maybe the people of the whole country know about it.

"What did Lao Jiu tell you?"

"Oh, don't care who told me, you just said what to do with the test questions now, do you want to rearrange them?" Qu You asked very flatly, but there was a flash of urgency in his eyes.She kept persuading herself in her heart, calm down, must be calm.

Chu Xu didn't say anything, he lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about Qu You's question.The courtyard suddenly fell silent, and the servants retreated consciously. Only the three of them stood quietly in place.

"Nine siblings..." Chu Xu suddenly raised his head.

Ah ha ha ha, I must have asked myself to help out with the question, right, right! !Qu You was going crazy with joy in her heart, she took a deep breath, and slowly opened the corners of her mouth to both sides.

"If you have something to do, the King of Yan, just say it, and the women who can help will certainly not let him go."

Standing aside, Shen Yan took a full view of Qu You's expression. At this moment, hearing her reasonable words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.

"The summit of the four nations is of great importance. As for the test questions, this king needs to inform his father that he will make a separate decision."

"You're not in charge?" The corners of Qu You's mouth suddenly collapsed.

"but……"

"But what, tell me quickly. If you can help me, you will definitely help me, and work hard to cooperate!"

Chu Xu didn't say a word, he looked at Qu You suspiciously, as if he was puzzled by her urgency.As far as he knew, the nine younger siblings were not the kind of warm-hearted people, otherwise they wouldn't let him speak out, but still resisted the four-nation summit.

"Sister-in-law Jiu, have you ever heard a sentence?" Beside him, Shen Yan suddenly spoke.

Qu You turned his head in doubt, and looked him up and down, "Which sentence, let me listen to it."

Shen Yan suppressed a smile, put his right hand to his mouth, and coughed, "The ancients used to say that when things go wrong, there must be evildoers!"

Bah, my sister sees that you are an evildoer.Boys look like girls, you are not evil or evil.Qu You glanced at him contemptuously, then turned her head and ignored him.

"His Royal Highness, to be honest, I want my father to participate in this summit."

Qu Dongsheng... Chu Xu frowned, and just about to say no, when the other party shook his head, he couldn't help being taken aback, and the corners of his originally smiling mouth slightly curled up.

"I don't understand why you insist on letting your father participate in the four-nation summit. You have to know that if he makes a mistake in the competition, then...everything we have done will be in vain, and the Five Kings will fall into an irreparable situation. "

Qu You kept a smile on her face, she shook her head unhurriedly, as if she strongly disagreed with what Chu Xu said.She opened her mouth and was about to speak when Shen Yan beside her suddenly yelled.

"Fifth Brother, Ninth Sister-in-Law, can we go into the house and tell us that our skin will turn dark after being exposed to the sun for a long time in the summer." Shen Yan raised his hand to cover the top of his head, and kept looking at the sky with his eyes.

Qu You's face was dark, and he felt like there were ten thousand muddy horses galloping past in his mind... A big man was actually afraid of getting tanned. What's more, his skin was so good that he didn't look like someone who could be tanned. constitution.She raised the corners of her mouth, stretched out her hands and pinched Shen Yan's face vigorously, and pulled it apart forcefully.Say it, why don't you say it, it will make you afraid of getting sunburned, and it will crush you to death——

"It hurts, sister-in-law Jiu let go." Shen Yan covered her face, but didn't dare to hurt Qu You in the slightest.Just kidding, this is the daughter-in-law that Brother Jiu worked so hard to get back, if he hurts a hair, he will not be hunted down by the ends of the world.

"Okay, Yan'er is young, so please forgive him this time." Chu Xu hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.

Qu You nodded, and let go of his hand out of face, "Let's go, let's talk in the room." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the inner hall first.

Huanshan and the others heard the movement and ran in quickly.After making tea, arranging pastries, and serving fruit plates, after a while of busy work, he bowed again and retreated.

Chu Xu picked up the teacup, and slowly blew on the floating leaves on it, "Ninth Brother and Sister, could it be that...you are absolutely sure about this matter?" After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Qu You.

As if Qu You didn't hear his question, she pinched the pastry with her small hands unhurriedly, and slowly put it into her mouth. After the aroma of the pastry dissipated in her taste buds, she narrowed her eyes comfortably.

"His Royal Highness King Yan can apply to His Majesty, and I will come up with the test questions of the Four Kingdoms!" After speaking, Qu You suddenly opened his eyes, and the flash of light in his eyes made Chu Xu and Shen Yan straighten up in shock.

"Sister-in-law Nine, you—" Is that all right?Shen Yan opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the following two words.

"If you don't believe in benevolence and virtuousness, the country will be empty. If there is no propriety and justice, there will be chaos. Secondly, the king is light. That is why the emperor is the son of heaven, the son of heaven is the vassal, and the lord is the great man. The princes are in danger of the country, and they are changed. The sacrifice is done, the prosperity is clean, and the sacrifice is timed, but When the drought is dry and the water is overflowing, the country will be replaced." Qu You rolled his eyes, and uttered a sentence related to national policy.

This passage completely confused Chu Xu and the two of them, only to see that Shen Yan, who was originally not optimistic about Qu You, had his eyes bright at this moment, he picked up the tea cup, and took a sip, "Sister-in-law Jiu, you are a great talent!" !” After speaking, he gave a thumbs up in admiration.

Just when Qu You was secretly complacent, Shen Yan scratched her head, and asked again with some embarrassment: "However, this sentence is too long, what exactly does it mean?"

"Bang..." Qu You fell from the chair and fell to the ground.

"Miss."

"Miss, how are you?" Hearing the noise, several girls rushed in.

Qu You gritted her teeth and gently rubbed her sore buttocks, "You don't understand?"

Shen Yan scratched her head and gave an embarrassed 'hehe' smile, "I, I don't quite understand..." After finishing speaking, she looked at Chu Xu for help.

Damn, I don't know what you're calling, it made her liver tremble with excitement.Qu You glared at him fiercely, then turned to look in Chu Xu's direction.

"His Royal Highness, do you understand?" If you can't understand, then we have nothing to talk about.

Chu Xu nodded, his eyes as dark as pools of water flashed, "The nine brothers and sisters mean that if you don't believe in benevolent and virtuous people, the talents of the country will be empty; without social behavior norms and the best way of behavior, Then there will be chaos in the upper and lower levels; if the government is not done well, the wealth will be poor. There are people who can get the country without loving the people; there are no people who can get the world without loving the people.”

Hmm... children can be taught!
