Chapter 120 Zuo Jinglun
"Cutting down the vassals... Hey, Shaanxi is actually not without money." Zuo Jinglun said bitterly: "The Prince of Qin's Palace has money. Before Wang Qiaolong died, he begged the King of Qin to use money to buy cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers and pay them to boost morale.
But he was rejected by the King of Qin. Wang Qiaolong angrily said, "I hate giving the soldiers a cotton coat." On that day, the Qin army opened the door and surrendered to Tang Zhongyuan."
Song Li looked up helplessly and sighed.
Zuo Jinglun said: "Hateful! Ridiculous! After Tang Zhongyuan entered the customs, do you think he might leave one person in the Qin Prince's palace? Maybe save a penny? He is so ignorant and greedy for money! I wish I could cut him in pieces!"
Song Li sighed: "It is so similar to the ruined city of Luoyang. Prince Yong's palace bribed the mountains with pearls and jade, but the soldiers were hungry to defend the city. In the end? In the end, Tang Zhongyuan used the palace's wealth to reward the world, and the people's hearts often waxed and waned.
How can we suppress it?”
Zuo Jinglun sighed: "In today's discussion, the ministers never mentioned anything about King Qin."
"Zheng Shoufu didn't mention it either?"
"Well. How dare he provoke Zongfan?"
Zuo Jinglun was silent for a while, and then said: "I hate that I am only at the bottom of the cabinet!"
Song Li cupped his hands and said: "Students must be plotting against the master. One day, the master must be appointed prime minister and assistant to save the world!"
Zuo Jinglun let out a long sigh, waved his hands and said: "Now that I am under the control of others, I have no choice but to do it step by step. Let's clean up the greedy and sycophantic people first, so as to alleviate the crisis."
The two nodded.
"The court is full of greed and sycophancy, especially the Kundang Party. Bai Yizhang made a big deal today and asked officials to donate their salaries. Do you know how much he donated?"
Song Li frowned and said, "The student didn't see Bai Yizhang's excerpt?"
Zuo Jinglun said: "Humph, it must be handed over directly to Lu Kunshan."
Song Li could only say: "Based on the salary of his Zuo Shilang, his donation of one hundred taels is already a big deal. If he sells some of his ancestral property, five hundred taels would be a suitable amount."
"Yes, I stole millions of taels and donated five hundred taels. I don't even know whether to be angry or laugh..."
"grandfather."
Suddenly someone called out from outside the door, but it was Zuo Mingxin.
"come in."
Then, Zuo Mingxin and Zuo Mingjing pushed the door open and came in.
"Grandpa, I heard that Minister Qian's second son was killed. He sent me to the outskirts of Beijing a few days ago. Should I go and find out?" Zuo Ming thought to himself.
When he heard that Qian Chengyun was a traitor, Zuo Jinglun's face turned ugly and he said calmly: "The Qian family doesn't even mourn when someone dies, so don't join in the fun."
Zuo Mingxin was stunned.
The Qian family and the Zuo family have always had some contact. She and Qian Duoduo are also close friends, so Yu Li must ask about it after all...
"You will have less contact with that girl from the Qian family in the future." Zuo Jinglun added, "Also, during this period, you will not even see your grandmother's relatives."
"yes."
Seeing that her sister wanted to talk more, Zuo Mingjing pulled Zuo Mingxin out.
Zuo Mingjing was disgusted with Qian Cheng's domineering attitude, so she whispered: "I have told you that if the Qian family is so arrogant, there will be disaster. My grandfather is afraid of being implicated."
Zuo Mingxin lowered his head and said, "I know, I'm just worried that Duoduo will be sad, so I thought I should go see him."
"What should she feel sad about as a concubine who was bullied by her brother-in-law?" Zuo Mingjing said: "But it's you. What are you thinking about when you have been absent-minded these past two days?"
Zuo Mingxin lowered his head and said for a long time: "Why didn't the kitchen...didn't make...the pig's feet..."
"What? Are you afraid that your betrothal gift will be gone?" Zuo Mingjing deliberately teased her.
Seeing that Zuo Mingxin was really worried, Zuo Mingjing took her to the kitchen to look, but she didn't see the pig's trotters.
The two of them asked the cook.
"Pig's trotters? How can there be any pig's trotters?" The cook said loudly: "How can a scholarly family like our Zuofu have such food as pig's trotters?! The two masters are afraid that they have seen it wrong..."
As the cook spoke, she struck the table with a big kitchen knife.
The two little girls were startled and had to run out again.
Zuo Ming felt extremely sad when he thought that his betrothal gift was gone.
She also didn't want Zuo Mingjing to accompany her, so she just locked herself in the room and cried.
After a while, someone suddenly knocked on the window three times.
Zuo Mingxin suddenly raised her head, her face filled with joy. She wiped her tears and opened the window, and it turned out to be Qin Xuance.
"Look at you, you're covered in dirt, but you have a clean boudoir..."
Qin Xuance went outside the city to pick up the bodies of the family selling shortbread cakes and buried them before he came here. Because that family was accused of being a traitor, the government did not bury them.
When a person is buried in the earth, this matter will pass from his heart.
Naturally, he would not say this to Zuo Mingxin at this time. He just smiled and gave her a bunch of candied haws.
Zuo Mingxin turned from anger to joy and asked: "Has the framed colleague you mentioned yesterday been redeemed?"
"After being redeemed, he only received two taels of silver, but he has to bear the blame for the entire patrol camp..."
Zuo Mingxin suddenly said "Ouch": "Why are you injured?!"
Qin Xuance waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
"Why is it okay? There is such a long gash on my back."
"I went to catch some thieves last night." Qin Xuance opened his mouth and said, "There are five of those thieves, all of them are highly skilled in martial arts. They wear masks on their heads..."
"I know, in the palace of Minister Qian of the Ministry of Punishment." Zuo Mingxin shed tears again and said: "How can you let your patrol camp get those people who are rebels? Your patrol camp... in short
You can’t be ahead of everything.”
"What are you rebelling against? That's a slander! Those people are also heroes. I had already captured them, but when I saw how righteous they were, I let them go."
Zuo Ming thought to himself: "If they cut you, you are not a good man."
"Can they chop me?" Qin Xuance said proudly: "I let people go because I was afraid of being scolded by Lord Du Si, so I got stabbed on purpose."
"you!"
Qin Xuance looked generous and waved his hands and said: "I am responsible for defending the capital, and I encounter a loyal and courageous man who violates the ban with force. It is also a dilemma in my heart."
As he spoke, he even clasped his hands and started chanting: "Young man is chivalrous, making friends with five heroes. His liver and gallbladder are pierced, his hair is arrogant. In the middle of a conversation, life and death are the same..."
Zuo Mingxin quickly raised her eyes and glanced at him, expressing admiration.
She was a talented woman, so she naturally knew this Song poem, so she whispered the same song to Qin Xuance.
"If you don't ask for a long tassel, I will take the talent of a genius, and the sword will roar to the west wind..."
The two looked at each other and felt that they were close friends and fell in love with each other.
Qin Xuance was quite proud of his pretense and asked again: "I saw you crying when I came in. What's the matter?"
"nothing……"
"It can't be that that domineering guy Qian Cheng died, and you feel sad, right?" Qin Xuance suddenly felt a little bit amused and said.
The admiration on Zuo Mingxin's face had not faded away, but when she suddenly heard what he said, she felt unhappy and turned away.
Qin Xuance was even more unhappy and said: "As expected."
