Li Zhi, who looked dazed, looked at someone's arrogant and arrogant back and walked in the direction of Penglai Palace, with a lot of thoughts, and couldn't help but think back to ten years ago: 'Is it a mistake for me to let him serve as the head of the household department in the first place!' If you want to spend some money in the future, won't you still have to look at his face? ’

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty....... ”

"Huh? What's the matter? ”

"This ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left something before leaving just now. Lian Tie picked up a stack of silver tickets on the chair when Li Hong just got up, held it in his hand and said.

"I'll just say, the little rabbit cub can't be filial to his mother alone! Quick, count me how much this is. Li Zhi's eyes lit up when he looked at the silver ticket, although he didn't know what the use of asking for money he wanted, but seeing that the queen was so much, wouldn't it be a loss if he didn't want to?

Someone walked to the end of the pavilion, turned his head to see Lian Tie's hands flying up and down, smiled slightly, and walked towards Penglai Hall with brisk steps.

"The sons see the queen mother, and the sons wish the queen mother eternal youth, forever beautiful and young! Graceful and luxurious, peerless, immortal, extraordinary, outstanding, and ....... Before the person arrived, Wu Mei's brows furrowed for a while when she heard the strong voice.

"What are you still doing in the palace of this palace?" Wu Mei reached out and slapped someone's hand away from the hand that was about to hold her cup, and asked coldly.

"It's okay, Erchen is just curious, come and have a look." Li Hong looked up and down at the Penglai Palace, which was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar.

Wu Mei didn't stop it, and looked at Li Hong coldly like a dog, looking around and sniffing. Wang Lou and the other palace maids and eunuchs naturally didn't dare to stop this evil star, wandering around the queen's palace.

"Sniff out what?" Wu Mei asked lightly.

"I didn't smell anything, but there was something unusual." Li Hong clapped his hands, rushed down the head of a blood jade Guanyin, and stood up.

"How much silver did you pay tribute to your father? Is it more than honoring the main palace? Wu Mei picked up the teacup, remembering that she had pit the little rabbit cub for 20 million taels of silver, and her heart was as beautiful as if she was about to bloom.

"One million taels."

"Poof...... How much? Wu Mei took a sip of tea and sprayed it all on the precious carpet, and the palace maid next to her hurriedly handed over the silk handkerchief, but Wu Mei didn't notice it, seeing that Li Hong was still fiddling with the blood jade Guanyin, and hurriedly asked.

"A million taels." Li Hong pretended to confirm as if it was a very ordinary thing.

"Your father was cheated by you again?" Wu Mei still couldn't believe the one million taels in Li Hong's mouth, she showed him a demonstration, how could she be pulled back by this rabbit cub in the end!

"I can't say that, I have honored you 20 million, and I have honored my father and rebuilt the palace of King Wu, and it will be 6 million taels, 26 million taels, and you say that these 26 million taels of silver have to buy how many official positions in the court? As for Erchen, he only bought a position in the book order, and it was still a loss for Erchen. Li Hong walked up to Wu Mei and got cheap and sold obediently.

Then he took the silk handkerchief in the hand of the palace maid, and shook it in front of Wu Mei's eyes like a conjuring, which made his dragon mother come back to his senses.

"Then what are you doing here? Show that you have less filial piety to your father? Wu Mei wiped the corners of her mouth, glanced at Sipa, and asked.

"That's not it, Erchen came over this time, two things, no, three things. First: Li Xian came over last night, right? Second:....... ”

"What? Could it be that this Penglai Hall in this palace is only allowed for you Li Hong, Li Xian and Li Zhe, as the princes of this palace, can't come at will? I have to report to you Li Hong, right? Wu Mei expected that Li Hong would come to her, and it must have been because of today's pardon of Fang Xianzhong by the court.

The character of beating Xiao Jianyue seems to have changed, but now, what has changed is just something other than principles, since he suffered a loss in Helan Minyue, Li Hong has now become much more decisive.

Today's court is intermittent, cutting off all the courtiers who have a close relationship with Li Xian in the court, and then continuing the absence above the court with his own people!

Now, most of the court is held in his hands, otherwise, can you expect him to happily and willingly take out 20 million taels of silver to honor himself?

"Of course I can come over, I just want to know, did Li Xian honor you and also honor 20 million taels? But I turned around, except for the blood jade Guanyin, which was worth a little money with the phoenix blood jade bracelet on your wrist, I didn't see anything valuable.

"Is this palace a lover of money? Alas...... The palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, I didn't tell you about it last time? Wu Mei lifted the bracelet through Li Hong, so she began to appreciate it again, looking at the bracelet on the jade wrist.

"Okay, okay, this matter has been revealed, don't talk about it, he can't afford to make any waves if he is a Fang Xianzhong." Li Hong shook his head helplessly, and then leaned forward mysteriously, leaned in front of Wu Mei, and said, "That...... Queen Mother, let's discuss something. ”

"Except for the crown princess, I can talk to you about everything else, even if you want to go to Jiangnan after the first day!" Wu Mei took the words of her son Mo Ruomu to the extreme.

"I ...... You...... How do you know? Li Hongmeng, during this time, he never interfered or ignored Yang Sijian's daughter's nonsense in Pei Xingjian's mansion, just to take a lead in negotiating the divorce of the queen mother, and now it seems that the queen mother has taken the lead again.

"How do I know I can tell you? If you withdraw from the marriage for no reason, where do you put your mother's face in the court in the future? Moreover, Yang Sijian's daughter is also knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous, I don't believe it, has Yang Sijian been unable to discipline a good daughter all these years? Tell the queen mother, did Pei Wanying let you say that? Blowing the pillow wind for you, you want to replace Yang Yu as the crown princess of the East Palace? Wu Mei looked at Li Hong curiously and asked.

And the crown prince Li Hong's face began to wrinkle, no matter who Pei Wanying and Yang Yu are, they haven't passed the door yet, how can this ...... This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship seems to be about to start in front of him.

But fortunately, at this time, I didn't fall into the river at the same time as your mother, and who did you save first! Otherwise, I won't have anywhere to stay in the future.

But just when someone was thinking about it, the dragon mother next to her suddenly gossiped and asked: "Alas, Li Hong, the queen mother asked you, if the queen mother and Pei Wanying fell into the river at the same time, who would you save first?" ”

“……。”

After returning to the East Palace, he ignored the many Tang officials standing at the door of the Lizheng Hall and walked straight into his bedroom on the second floor of the Lizheng Palace, and Yan Lingbin, who had just cleaned the second floor thoroughly before the Yuan Dynasty, was hugged into the bedroom by the prince who had plunged into the bedroom.

The sudden move frightened Yan Lingbin almost screamed, but fortunately, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little tired today, and he didn't toss himself, but just hugged himself and slept until the sun set, and then he got up lazily.

Li Hong, who woke up from the dream in a daze, washed his face casually with cold water, and then beckoned Xiaoxue and them to prepare dinner, and the ministers who were still waiting in the East Palace, leaving Ouyang Tong and Ma Zai, and the others were gone, even the newly promoted right servant of Shangshu Province shot Pei Xingjian, and the newly appointed Zhongshu Provincial Zhongshu Ling Shangguanyi, all of them were mercilessly rejected and invited out of the East Palace.

Ouyang Tong dined with the prince for the first time, and the whole person was cautious, as if he didn't dare to really sit on the chair, and after eating a meal, he didn't know if he was full, but it was true that his two calves and stomachs were trembling all the time.

Compared with Ouyang Tong, Ma Zai is naturally much more casual, and has followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Anxi for many years, and knows a lot about Li Hong's temperament, so he is quite comfortable to eat dinner.

In the study, with the help of Xiaoxue and others, Li Hong searched for a long time and found a lot of excerpts from the Ministry of Industry, first handed them to Ma Zai, asked him to take a closer look, and then gave himself a rough plan.

Then he ignored Ma Zai, who looked at the excerpt carefully, and turned to Ouyang Tong, who was already preparing to take up the post of Household Shangshu, Ouyang Tong may know very few people, but his father Ouyang Xun is one of the four masters of regular script, and he is also known as the fourth family of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning of Yu Shinan, Zhu Suiliang, and Xue Ji.

And now, because of his attainments in calligraphy, he is often considered to be qualified to be on par with his father Ouyang Xun, so he is praised as: "Big and small Ouyang." ”

"I heard that you often go to the Chongwen Pavilion to listen to the lectures?" Li Hong looked at Ouyang Tong, who was only about forty years old, his appearance gave people a sense of reliability and convincing, and his beard was black and shiny, which made him even more upright.

"Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince......

"Sit down and say, it's not above the court, it's not in Shangshu Province, there's no need to be so thoughtful."

"Yes, Your Highness, thank you for your trust and promotion. Minister...... It is true that I often go to the school, and I have learned very little, but it has helped a lot. Ouyang Tong replied to Li Hong's words.

"And what do you mean by that?" Li Hong pushed the thirty questions for Jinghui and Lin Shiling to Ouyang Tong and said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Ouyang Tong took it and began to look at it quietly.

Ma Zai only then raised his head and said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that with the budget of the Ministry of Industry next year, it is enough to build the road from Fanyang to Youzhou to the outside of the pass, and the minister thinks that now my Tang Dynasty has many business and trade to the west, and its Yumen Pass, Qiuzi, Shule, Khotan, Broken Leaves and other important places in Anxi, because of the increase in merchants from the Western Regions, it is now more prosperous compared to there, but there are also drawbacks, that is, the prosperous Anxi is now easy to be coveted, and the minister observed the map, as a grassland in the clouds, as the source of my Tang Dynasty's war horses, It is necessary to have a direct road to Anxi, so that Yunzhong can be used as a large rear, and to the east is enough to deter the Anton Guard, Murowei, and even rush to the aid of the Andong Protectorate. To the west, it is enough to provide abundant water and grass for my Datang troops in Anxi, and provide a more vast and fertile grassland for the domestication of war horses, so that my Datang is enough to be invincible whether it is Anxi or Anton! Therefore, the minister thinks that the imminent thing for the Ministry of Industry is to build three roads! Yunzhong to Anxi, Chang'an to Anxi, Hebei Province Fanyang, Youzhou, Guanwai together! ”

"Then do you know who is in the clouds?" Li Hong asked with a sneer.
