γPen β fun Γ· book.γ, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
In front of the public, Li Longji, as the crown prince of the dynasty, can't open his eyes and tell nonsense.
He forced himself to maintain a smile and said, "Very good, King Ji is very knowledgeable, and this prince admires him." These twenty catties of ambergris are King Ji's. β
After a pause, he said a little unwillingly: "Saying that this ambergris is not worth mentioning, but King Ji is deliberately gambling and fighting, it is really a little puzzled by this prince." β
Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "Didn't this king say it?" I'm glad that money is hard to buy. Since Princess Taiping is willing to ask for this ambergris, no matter whether this thing is worth or not, she should do her best to get it for the princess. β
As he spoke, he looked at Princess Taiping and said casually: "There is little hatred and entertainment in the sky. Ken Ai's daughter smiled lightly. Persuade the sun to hold wine for the king, and leave the evening light among the flowers. β
This poem is not a love story, but it is better than a love story. When Princess Taiping heard this, she was even happier than ambergris.
In a good mood, she saw that Li Longji was not so annoying, and said: "San Lang, don't say that my aunt doesn't hurt you, anyway, I can't use such a large piece of ambergris, so I'll leave half of it for you." β
"Uh......"
Li Long basically wanted to be angry, but when he thought of the secret thing in his heart, he couldn't get angry after all. Besides, this is not to bow to Cui Geng, as a nephew, take something from his own aunt, so what's the shame?
He bowed slightly and said, "Then my nephew will thank my aunt." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The ownership of ambergris has been decided, and everyone left the Mianyue Tower and dispersed.
Li Longji's mood was not very good, he returned to the Prince's East Palace, drank tea and soup for a night, and his mind did not belong.
At this moment, a little eunuch came to report that Hu Shang asked to see him.
"Hu Shang? What is your name? β
"Kairadis."
"Sure enough, it's him!"
Of course, Li Longji understands that the reason why Kairadis gave himself such a big face today is definitely not as simple as it seems.
He groaned for a moment, then said, "Let him in." β
"Yes."
With little effort, Kairadis was led in by the little eunuch.
Seeing that the ceremony was over, Li Longji asked him to sit down and said straight to the point: "What do you want to get when you meet Prince Ben today?" β
Kairadis did not answer directly, but took out a brocade box from each of his left and right sleeve pockets, and said: "A little courtesy is not a respect, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not refuse." β
"Bo Li? What a thin gift? β
Kairadis opened a brocade box and said, "This is the money ticket for two million yuan to gather Hong Leong Silver." β
"What? Two million dollars? β
Don't look at Li Longji as the crown prince of the dynasty, but two million yuan is definitely a huge amount of money for him. You know, his current legal and illegal income is only this number in a year.
Li Longji forced himself to calm down and said, "What do you want from this prince?" β
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't be busy, the villain still has this." Kairadis opened another brocade box and said, "This is the high-grade ambergris that King Ji said, about a catty." Although the little one didn't know where this ambergris came from, he knew that white ambergris was indeed better than brown ambergris. β
When Li Longji heard this, he regretted it a lot. He said in his heart, I already knew that you had white ambergris, so I will be tough today, and I am willing to lose the bet, and I don't want the ambergris of Princess Taiping.
With such regrets, his original mind that was intimidated by money stabilized a lot.
Li Longji said lightly: "Kailadis has a heart." β
Kairadis didn't know why Li Longji's expression changed so much, so he had to say as planned: "Uh...... The reason why the little one offered these two things was to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a favor. β
"What grace?"
"I want to ask for the history of Quanzhou."
"What? You? The history of Quanzhou thorns? "Li Longji is so unhappy, he said;" You are a foreigner, you have no merit in the imperial court, how dare you ask to be the assassin of Quanzhou? Do you think that this prince is a traitor? β
Kairadis still didn't answer positively, but said: "If the little one is the assassin of Quanzhou, he is willing to give two million yuan to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince every year." β
"Two million guan a year, that ...... That'...... too."
The wealth is moving, and the word "no" came to Li Longji's mouth, but he couldn't say it, and changed the topic: "The imperial court only collects about one million yuan in taxes from Quanzhou every year, can you really give this king another two million yuan?" β
"That's true."
"What are you going to do?"
Kairadis took a sip of tea soup and said, "Then the king of Linzi doesn't have to worry about it, you just say, can this thing be done or not?" β
"I ......" Li Longji swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and said, "It's not that this prince doesn't want to agree, it's really ...... It's not in order. β
"How is it not in order? Wasn't there an oblique official during the Zhongzong period? As long as you can tell Your Majesty to give your order, this is done. β
Li Longji shook his head and said: "Since Yao Chongsong became the prime minister, he has vigorously investigated the oblique officials. How could this prince do the opposite? Do I want my reputation anymore? β
Kairadis persuaded: "But I heard that both His Majesty and Princess Taiping have the intention of reinstating the duties of the oblique officials, and if you make an exchange with them, this matter should not be difficult." β
"What ...... this?"
Li Longji thought about it carefully, and this matter was really feasible.
When Li Xian was emperor, there were more than 10,000 oblique officials. After the coup d'Γ©tat in Tanglong, Li Dan and his son confronted Cui Geng, and no one dared to attack this group.
But Yao Chong and Song were recommended by Cui Geng, and they had a good relationship with Li Dan's father and son, so they didn't have so many scruples.
After their drastic reforms, there are now less than 2,000 oblique officials left.
However, those who lost their positions are not small, some of them find ways to lobby Li Dan, some find ways to lobby Princess Taiping, and a small number of people lobby Li Longji......
The truth is also ready-made, Li Dan's throne is from Li Xian's line. As soon as you succeeded to the throne, you wantonly deposed the officials of Li Xianchao, did you want to show the evil of the previous emperor? Are you worthy of your dead brother?
Under the money offensive, a wave of restoring oblique officials is brewing.
Li Longji muttered: "Even so, most of the oblique officials are Qing nobles such as imperial history and relics, and the history of assassination is unprecedented. It's still not easy for you to stab the history of Quanzhou. In this way, you will do a secret errand for this king, and after the matter is completed, this Quanzhou assassin history will be wrapped in the body of this prince. β
"But I don't know what kind of secret errand it is?"
"You wait a while, and this king will come when he goes."
This "while" time is not short, Li Longji went straight for about two hours before he walked in with a woman.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
At the same time, in the Ji Wangfu, Cui Geng's study.
Wu Zhi asked Cui Geng to throw the left and right away, and then "poofed", knelt on the ground, and said: "I have been following King Ji for a long time, and I have always wanted to work with you to make a great career for the common people in the world." You must have self-respect and self-respect, and you must not make this sound of the country again! β
"What's the mess? Why don't I have self-esteem? Why did you come out of the voice of the dead country? Cui Geng was deeply puzzled.
"It's the poem you made today, floating and hating and entertaining. Ken Ai's daughter smiled lightly. This is an allusion to the princes of Zhou Youwang's Fenghuo Opera, isn't it the sound of the country? β
"Uh......"
Cui Geng thinks about it.
Legend has it that King Zhou You favored Bao Xi, smiled for the Pomeranians, and posted a notice: Whoever can make Bao Xi laugh can get a thousand taels of gold. Many people thought of many ways without success, and finally a minister named Yu Shifu came up with an idea: the princes of the Beacon Fire Theater. This clever plan really succeeded, so King Zhou You rewarded Yu Shi's father with a thousand taels of gold. That's where the smile comes from.
The princes of the Beacon Fire Opera were the fuse of the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that quoting this allusion is the sound of the death of the country.
Even Song Qi, the original author of this poem, did not mean this, but was still called "the sigh of the last days", saying that it was the mentality of scholars and doctors that marked the decay and degeneration of the Northern Song Dynasty.
But Cui Geng was aggrieved, he just copied poems casually and pretended to be forced, how could he think of so much?
Cui Geng said: "This king just quotes casually, Mr. Wu doesn't have to worry about it." β
Wu Zhi said unrelentingly: "However, the sympathy between heaven and man, is there still a few things that become prophecies?" This poem is ominous......"
"Cheng, I'll change! Can't I change it? β
Cui Geng was furious for a while by Wu Zhi's words, and quickly changed the topic, saying: "You go and call Zhang Lingjun to me, this king has something important to tell him to do." β
"Zhang Lingjun?" Wu Zhi said strangely: "He's not...... Isn't it very reliable? β
