    Tang Zihe's expression flashed with confusion for a brief moment.

    How many years have you not heard the word "home"?

    She was born with an unknown surname, was adopted by the White Lotus Sect, and followed the elders of the sect to practice medicine in Tianjin. She once thought that the White Lotus Sect was her home, but later she discovered that she was wrong. The White Lotus Sect did not regard her as a family member, but as a person who gradually became  The big opponent only has deep guarding and fear, without a trace of warmth.

    Over the years, I have walked south to the north, have killed officials, and they have been reversed. At the time of the strong momentum, tens of thousands of heroes are willing to drive her to drive. The three provinces are allowed to gallop and cross, but she still lacks a home.

    "Homeare you willing to give me a home?" Tang Zihe murmured, tears falling like pearls.

    "Ordinary poor people can have a shack, why can't you have a home?" Qin Kan smiled, as if there was a faint scent of grass in his smile, which made people feel calm.

    Tang Zihe lowered his head and quietly wiped away his tears. He was silent for a long time and then suddenly smiled. When he looked up again, there were no tears in the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were a bit cunning.

    "I heard that a house with a man is called a home Mr. Qin, do you want to put another man into the little girl's house?"

    Qin Kan hurriedly handed over his hand: "I will never refuse, and I will recommend myself"

    Tang Zihe laughed, his laughter like silver bells pouring on the moat, and the sparkling waves on the river seemed to be dancing briskly.

    "Next, do you plan to stay in the capital or continue to wander?"

    Tang Zihe smiled and said: "I should leave the capital. I am too unfamiliar with this place. If you were not in a desperate situation, I would not come here. Now that your dilemma has been solved and your political enemies have been eliminated, I naturally have to leave."

    Qin Kan said in a low voice: "You can't you stay?"

    Tang Zihe looked at him deeply and said, "Qin Kan, you know who I am. I am destined to be a rootless duckweed in this life. A life of ease is not suitable for me."

    Qin Kan sighed sadly and said nothing.

    After all, she is not a person who can settle down. She has had her glory days, and she also has unresolved knots in her heart. How can she spend the rest of her life quietly guarding a house and a man?

    Seeing Qin Kan's disappointed look.  Tang Zihe was moved.  Zhan Yan forced a smile and said: "If one day you are stuck in a decision again, or"

    "Or what?"

    Tang Zihe looked at him and said slowly: "Perhaps one day, the emperor will no longer trust you and wants to kill you. I will come back again. The country is great and virtuous people live there. It does not have to be named Zhu, it can also be  surname¡­¡­"

    "Stop it!" Qin Kan interrupted her, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously. He was stunned for a long time before he returned to normal, pointed at her and smiled bitterly: "You are really a witch. It's not enough to rebel on your own, and you want to drag me into the water."  , I¡¯ll pretend I haven¡¯t heard these words today, and don¡¯t mention them again in the future.¡±

    Tang Zihe smiled freely: "The older Mr. Qin becomes, the more courageous he becomes."

    Standing up and patting the dust behind him, Tang Zihe turned around, looked at Qin Kan, and said deeply: "I will leave Beijing tomorrow and want to go back to Tianjin to see you. Parting is about to take place. Do you have anything to say to me?  "

    "have."

    "you say."

    Qin Kan looked at the turbid and churning moat, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, his eyes long and far-reaching.

    "Thank you for helping me make my wife's belly bigger"

    "Sir, four more two-thousand-material ships have been launched in Tianjin Donggang this month." Yan Song sat upright in front of Qin Kan, with a look of joy on his face.

    Qin Kan crossed his legs and looked leisurely: "At present, our Tianjin Navy has ten warships with more than 2,000 materials. The ships that will be launched later will all be merchant ships carrying cargo, and a dozen large merchant ships will be matched.  With ten frigate warships, this fleet is enough to dominate the world."

    "Yes" Yan Song cupped his hands, but a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "But sir, Tianjin Donggang is out of money."

    Qin Kan was stunned: "No money?"

    "The money for lumber in Liaodong, the money for manpower during transportation, the wages of two thousand shipbuilding craftsmen in Tianjin Donggang, and the two meals a day for nearly 10,000 civilian laborers, etc" After Yan Song finished speaking, he looked up at Qin Kan: "In short,  Tianjin is out of money.¡±

    Qin Kan pondered for a long time and said: "This is not difficult. After Liu Jin was executed, tens of millions of dirty silver were found from his family's warehouse. This money made the national treasury make a fortune, but at that time I kept a  With his heart in mind, he secretly ordered the Jin Yiwei to carry the officials of the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to seize four million taels from the confiscated family property and secretly put it into the inner treasury for future emergencies. Now it seems that this money has been used as it should.  At that time, I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow and ask him to withdraw money from the inner treasury.Two million taels are given to Tianjin, but if you win, you can go to Tianjin with peace of mind and take care of everything. I will take care of the money.  "

    Yan Song immediately looked at Qin Kan with reverence on his face: "My lord, I have prepared for a rainy day, and the temples are all in order. I admire the five places."

    Qin Kanhun shook his head carelessly: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. Even if I don't leave this escape route, Tianjin will still be short of money. There are too many dirty officials in the court. Just find someone to steal his family fortune."  , is definitely worth half a year¡¯s income to the national treasury.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After the silver matter was settled, Yan Song brought up the second matter.

    "The two Japanese envoys, Ouchi and Hosokawa, asked to see the Duke several times but could not, so they sent their invitations to Xiaguan and asked him to help introduce them. If the Duke did not want to see them, Xiaguan refused them directly.  yes."

    Qin Kan smiled and said: "These two Japanese are quite good at sneaking into camps. I guess they have also told you the purpose of meeting me, right?"

    "Yes, they want to ask the Lord to take back his orders and not send troops to Japan"

    Qin Kan snorted and said: "It was not my Ming Dynasty who took the initiative to send troops to Japan, but the Japanese royal family officially submitted their credentials to the Ming Dynasty. What's the use of asking me for this?"

    Yan Song looked at Qin Kan and said doubtfully: "My father-in-law sent troops to Japan to station in the palace. I am confused. What is your intention?"

    Qin Kan said slowly: "Japan seems to be courteous. In fact, it is a country of jackals. It is my plan to send troops to Japan. Within twenty or even fifty years, I will make Japan focus only on internal fighting and have no chance to breathe.  "

    Yan Song became more and more confused: "Can we achieve this goal by sending only five hundred soldiers?"

    Qin Kan chuckled: "Only five hundred were sent in the first year, and another hundred were sent in the second year. The number increased year by year. In fact, it was not noticeable. The Japanese Emperor had suffered for so many years. He finally had a few soldiers who obeyed his orders. The Emperor  Of course, Your Majesty, the more the merrier. Maybe he will take the initiative to ask us to increase our troops in the second year"

    "But adding so many troops is just to guard the palace. What will it do to the overall situation of Japan"

    Yan Song suddenly paused before he could finish his words and said in surprise: "Three Kingdoms were in troubled times, and the three heroes of Wei, Shu and Wu were fighting for hegemony! My lord, you want to use our Ming Dynasty's military power to check and balance Japan's war situation?"

    Qin Kan laughed and said: "That's right. The Three Kingdoms have been fighting for hegemony for nearly a hundred years. The three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu have fought for generations to unify the world. But it was the Sima family who finally won the world. However, do you feel that the current situation in Japan is also similar to that of the Three Kingdoms?  the meaning of?"

    Yan Song suddenly said: "The Hosokawa clan and the Ouchi clan are the most powerful in Japan. Although the royal family has a respectable status, their strength is almost completely lacking. No wonder the prince treats the other two daimyo envoys without pretense, but he has a lot of goodwill towards the prince of the royal family.  Not only did they allocate firearms, but they also advocated sending troops for defense. It turned out to be to support the imperial family and check and balance Ouchi and Hosokawa. The three were afraid of each other and fought against each other, which invisibly weakened Japan's national power"

    "Yes, the word 'balance' is the key. Of the three forces in Japan, no one can be so powerful that they can really unify Japan, and no one can be too weak and be annexed by other forces. This requires balance. Send troops to station.  Japan also means the same thing, to win over and suppress, show kindness to them, obey them with force, and secretly stir up trouble In a few years, our Ming Dynasty battalion's unwarranted extra firearms will become a force to contain Japan's daimyo.  As an important force, under the checks and balances of the three parties, the weight of Japan's Ming Dynasty garrison will also become more and more important. No matter which of Japan's greatest heroes wants to unify Japan, I am afraid it will not be easy."

    Listening to Qin Kan's detailed explanation of Japan's strategy, Yan Song's expression became more and more awe-inspiring. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead for no reason, but his expression became more and more awe-inspiring.

    "My lord, you have made a wonderful plan to bring peace to the world, and your subordinates are very impressed with it However, my lord, the ministers in the court and the central government do not seem to agree with sending troops to Japan. It is said that Liang Chu, a scholar in the cabinet, is ready to politely refuse Japan's letter of credence and not get involved in the national affairs of the vassal state."  Instead, give them gold and silver"

    Qin Kan smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter, I have asked the Jin Yiwei to make arrangements. Tomorrow at the latest, Your Majesty will announce that I will enter the Leopard Room to discuss Japan. Then we will see the outcome."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    On the second day, Qin Kan was indeed announced to the leopard room.

    In the large and empty main hall, two great ministers from the cabinet, Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, Tu Yu, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and other important ministers were already sitting in the hall.

    Zhu Houzhao is sitting more dignified today. He sits cross-legged on a bright yellow soft cushion. His upper body is straight, his hands are placed on his lower abdomen, his right hand is placed on his left hand, and the tips of his thumbs are connected. This is the "meditation seal" in Buddhism.  ", several veterans saw this, and the corners of their eyes twitched.

    It turns out that recently Zhu Houzhao suddenly developed a strong interest in Buddhism. He often held various rituals in the Leopard Room, and also ordered eminent monks from the Senglu Division to enter the Leopard Room one after another to promote Buddhism and lecture on scriptures for him.On the way, the Leopard Room was filled with various Buddhist sounds and Sanskrit chants day and night, and the emperor's palace became like the Leiyin Temple of Tathagata in the West.

    Not only that, Zhu Houzhao didn't know which old monk enlightened him in his dream, but he actually called himself "Daqing Dharma King Xijue Dao, Yuanming, Dingding and Fengsheng Buddha", and he just closed the door to entertain himself, but this happened  A young emperor went too far and actually wrote this self-chosen Buddhist title on the signature of the memorial. So the person who reviewed the state affairs was changed from the emperor to a monk. The whole court was shocked, thinking that there was a monster in the palace and bewitched the emperor.  , causing a big or small disturbance.

    Now that everyone saw Zhu Houzhao like this, all the old ministers were so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Tu Yu, the most hot-tempered one, took the lead and pointed at the solemn Zhu Houzhao and scolded him.

    Zhu Houzhao really looked like an eminent monk. He was neither anxious nor annoyed when he saw this. He continued to sit upright very calmly. The "meditation seal" formed in his hand changed its pattern at some point. His right hand was placed on his right knee, with the tips of his fingers pointing to the ground.  , but it is the authentic Buddhist "Magic Seal".

    Yang Tinghe, who had a little knowledge of Buddhism, was naturally no stranger to this mudra, so Yang Tinghe broke out.

    Ning Guo Gong Qin Kan walked into the Baodang Palace Hall leisurely when the whole hall was filled with criticism.  (To be continued)
