No shortage of walls

Liu Gongquan said:"This young Mr. He is really admired by the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty. He is considerate and good at dancing. This time in the Northern Xia matter, I feel the emperor's support and support. He did everything personally and was very decent. He also got many unexpected joys." The minister sent someone to deliberately embarrass him, and he reacted very quickly. He thought he was a spy from the enemy country, and sent someone to inform the minister of the secret message. However, this matter was still done by the minister, and it was inevitable that he would sue Liu Guo and his ministers. At that time, the emperor must Scold us."

Song Xingqi said:"How do you know that he will sue the Ministry of National Security?"

Liu Gongquan said:"It is the responsibility of the Ministry of National Security to catch spies. If he doesn't sue, my subordinates will not believe him."

Liu Gongquan unexpectedly expected that. As a matter of fact, He Shizhang actually sued Liu Guo, because Liu Guo was the minister; he said that he had reported the spy matter, but the Ministry of National Security could not find out why, and there was no follow-up. This was originally done by the Ministry of National Security itself, so what’s next? Song Xing had to fine Liu Guo three months' salary. Liu Guo was happy and thought He Shizhang was trustworthy. But when he went to court, he still couldn't help but give him a look, thinking that he was holding a grudge. Later, someone asked He Shizhang. Emperor Liu Guo was still the housekeeper when he was the crown prince, and he had two daughters in the harem. It was he who recommended you to the court. You have publicly offended him; you are afraid of getting into trouble later.

He Shizhang said solemnly:"I am serving the Song Dynasty and your Majesty. As long as you stand upright, why should you be afraid? He wants to avenge his personal revenge publicly, and I will sue him in the future." When

Liu Guo heard the legend, he had no choice but to do anything.

This is a pair of people who are at odds with each other.

Song Xing thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense.

Liu Gongquan said:"It's just that this is the first time for Mr. Xiao He to be in the front line. He is inexperienced. He has lost weight every time he stays up all night and can't sleep. Others only saw that he negotiated a deal in three days, but they didn't see it. He made preparations, and his ministers thought that if he was pushed to the front for training, it would only take three years. By then, his achievements would be obvious, and even if he was younger, he would be able to impress the civil and military forces."

Song Xing said:"It will be good if the person I use is qualified. , does it mean that you are great when you are older? Why do you have to be old? Besides, I did not ask him to lower the price. He himself said that he had lowered the price of grains by half, which was beyond my expectation. Moreover, he pretended that he would personally entrust it to the workshop. Workshop, and also gave Cui Zheng a few words to ask the workshop workers to deliberately say at the border when delivering goods, which was very accurate. Cui Zheng has sent someone to deliver the letter, and it was written clearly."

Liu Gongquan said:"Although knowledge is different from age, It has nothing to do with it, but older people have all their qualifications and qualifications, and the Ministry of Rites faces foreign countries. The older they are, the more they can pay attention to them. As for the etiquette of the country, it is not a big problem for those who are familiar with the regulations; besides, the Ministry of Rites The minister also needs to coordinate and take care of all aspects, and he also needs to have some experience. It is not just about doing very profitable business with that country, but he can be a good dancer. Coordinating and taking care of all aspects is the skill. To be honest, for the business of the workshop, just send someone at will It's okay in the past. Everything about the price has been decreed, and the border masters have been arranged in place. Just talk about one thing, anyone can do it. The real ability is to make overall arrangements."

Song Xingqing knew that what he said was reasonable. He said angrily:"Am I still going to have to endure that old thing for three years?"

Of course Liu Gongquan was also very angry, but after all, there was no one to replace him.

Song Xing said angrily:"When I came to the throne, 80% of the court was damaged, and I didn't care. Do you still care about an old guy? How is he recently?"

Liu Gongquan said:"Since Your Majesty left the palace, his hands have been stretched longer and longer. Mr. Huang has found out."

Song Xing said angrily:"I said in front of the hall that Long Quan would be killed. Did he really think that he was telling Long Quan to listen?"

Liu Gongquan remained silent. After a while, he said:"Wei Chen will discuss with Mr. Huang again to see if he has any suitable candidates in mind."

Song Xing nodded.

Liu Gongquan thanked him and left, but he came back in a hurry when he was almost at the gate. Liu Gongquan said:"Reporting to the emperor, there is a disaster. I almost forgot."

Song Xing said:"What disaster?"

Liu Gongquan said:"According to the report from the Southern Xia spies, a locust plague broke out in the west of Xia Kingdom, and it should arrive in Xia Kingdom within a month; Song Dynasty must arrive as soon as possible The best thing to do is to be prepared, but the humble minister has no idea."

Song Xing said:"Locust plague? Is it the kind of grasshoppers we used to have in the manor?"

Liu Gongquan said:"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The locust plague is a very terrible thing. When locusts pass by, Not leaving a single leaf behind is more terrifying for a country than going through a major war. Although this does not happen often, it happens once every few decades, and every time the country feels like it is facing a formidable enemy.

The country would rather go through a war than a locust plague. After the battlefield, there will naturally be dead people and famine, but the majority will still survive. But when the locust plague passes, there is not a single green leaf. There is not enough food in the first place. How many people are starving? die?

Although the Song Dynasty has enough food now, what will happen after the locusts pass?

Song Xing said:"Looking at you, you seem to be very scary. In my place……"Saying this suddenly felt inappropriate, and I didn't bother to look at his surprised expression. He said:"In front of me, they don't dare to fly together. Do you know why? It's because they can be skewered and served on the barbecue."

Liu Gongquan said:"Your Majesty! Why is it called barbecue?"

Song Xing said:"Let me draw a picture. Let Cui Zheng make a barbecue grill for Cui Zheng. Just talking about it makes me want to eat it."

Only then did Liu Gongquan understand that barbecue is for eating.

Song Xingdao:"I used to go into the fields to catch locusts, and you always drove me out. This food is delicious. Once fried with oil, I have at least several ways to eat it. It's a great tonic." Liu

Gongquan said:" Locusts... are they edible?"

"Go to the manor and ask Old Man Qian... It should be gone by this time, right?"

Liu Gongquan has been farming for more than ten years. He said:"It is possible that there is no locust plague. It is very rare, but there is, and it is relatively small."

"go! Grab two kilograms and come back, I will cook it myself, let you have a taste, let Mr. Jin have a taste, and then write a newspaper to tell the world, aren't they just locusts? Make a net to catch them, they are delicious."There are no pesticides in this civilization. You can eat whatever you catch.

Liu Gongquan said:"Yes! emperor! Wei Chen wanted to request an order to bring Xiao Wu back.

Song Xing said:"Wu Ren from the First Prince's Mansion?" Wouldn't it be fine if you transferred it back? Liu

Gongquan said:"Xiao Wu was transferred to Cui Zheng by the emperor. Without the emperor, Wei Chen would not be able to transfer him back."

Song Xing said:"I will tell Cui Zheng at the next court meeting.""

Liu Gongquan withdrew.

Wu Ren was the youngest person in the eldest prince's mansion, younger than Song Yu. It turned out that his father was with the eldest prince, and later died in the war. He was raised in the eldest prince's mansion since he was a child. At that time The eldest prince was not yet Prince Jing.

Later, Prince Jing’s military power was taken away. Zhao Dian took an imperial edict and asked Prince Jing to hand over the military spies. Prince Jing had no choice but to hand over the secret agents who were organized and prepared in the Ministry of War. Later, Although many people resigned and returned to the family farm, they still had to be handed in. Even though many Zhao Dian refused to approve, the important news came back to King Jing first. Later, when the prince became emperor, Liu Gongquan snatched it over. It was Jing. How dare others detain Wang’s old subordinates?

Prince Jing’s spies are not easily deceived by others.
