Chapter 379 Princess Taiping, whom I haven't seen for a long time
However, everything in Shendu did not seem to confirm Li Chongrun's worries.
The fourth uncle became more and more low-key and silent. Li Chongrun participated in several major dynasties later, and the theoretical heir to the throne actually did not even show his face, allowing the huge East Palace to become more and more dark and obscure.
Although 2 Zhang took over the post of Secretary-General Li Longji, he seemed to have no political ambitions at all. He spent the whole day drinking and having fun at Konghexuan with a group of colorful clothes and meat, and the guests at the banquet were not just His Majesty.
1 person, not to mention the noble ladies of the various imperial courts, even figures such as Princess Qianjin, who is both His Majesty's aunt and His Majesty's goddaughter, who have not been heard of for a long time, often appear among them.
Of course, not all of them. As we all know, two of the three most powerful women in the court are not interested in this kind of happy place.
Of course, Li Chongrun would not think too deliberately about whether they were simply not interested in men.
Her Highness the Princess has also kept a much lower profile. Since the third son of the Zhang family and a group of children went to Dali Temple as errands, the Overwatch Council has received much less information from Fengyi Guards.
Ruyu and Bing'er both stayed in Yangzhou to work, and Qi Niang rarely showed up in the palace recently. Officials in Shendu knew that there were not many organizations in the Supervisory Yuan. Over time, the intelligence organization under Li Chongrun became more and more important.
It looks like a legendary intelligence organization, low-key and mysterious.
One night, after following Judge Dee to investigate several unsolved cases, Li Chongrun and Judge Dee chatted for a long time in the secret room. Shortly after Judge Dee left, the originally brightly lit Supervisory Yuan headquarters in the basement of the palace was moved out on Li Chongrun's order.

As for what Duke Di said to his prince, and where the Overwatch Council had moved, not even Alan, who had been guarding Li Chongrun all day long, didn't know, let alone Shangguan's aunt in the palace, who was confused.
However, although they did not have grandchildren, the two little girls, Li Bai and Li Qing, had already reached a playful age. Naturally, the third most powerful woman in the imperial court had no time to pay attention to the little fat man's little thoughts.
My aunt is very happy recently.
The two little girls were at the age when they were learning to talk. When my aunt came home, she could hear the two little girls making milky sounds and rolling over to get close to her. It was surprising that this beautiful woman in her early 30s had more children.
There is a sense of living a long life, and even the rewards he gives to his servants are much more generous.
As we all know, the three most profitable businesses in Shendu are naturally collecting taxes in Nanshi, selling orchids in West Market, and working as a servant in Linzi Prince's Palace.
So that day, when Linzi King Li Chongrun was riding a snow-covered coat, leading a few gray-clothed factory guards to the West City, everyone in Shendu knew that a few miserable children were about to climb the high branches.
.
It's not that the people of this dynasty have such noble aspirations. It's just that although they are covetous of the exaggerated rewards from the Linzi Prince's Mansion, the Prince of Linzi's vision in selecting his servants is really special, and he only likes to find foreign lands that are sold by people.
A girl who is an orphan and a widower, a girl from a decent family, even if she can embroider mandarin ducks so that they fly on red silk, the King of Linzi will not even look at her.
Some people who thought they were well-informed explained to everyone that the King of Linzi was afraid of getting even remotely connected with the aristocratic family, so he selected some people from the orphans who had no wealth left to work in the government.
However, these well-informed people seem to have not heard of another really big news. According to them, the King of Linzi, who according to them has no connection with the aristocratic family, has contacted Wang Siye, the living scholar of the Wang family, a few days ago.
I have paid the betrothal gift and am planning to marry the only daughter of the Wang family in the spring of next year.
Of course, in addition to these well-informed people, there is another theory among the people. In line with the mentality of wealthy families who eat wine and meat, their bones will freeze to death, the reason why the King of Linzi only selects a few orphans to enter the palace is simply because
When the King of Linzi was in Yangzhou, he seized a set of secret techniques from the demon monk, which could steal human essence and blood to refine elixirs.

If this evil method had not been used, why had Prime Minister Shangguan, who raised the King of Linzi, not only not aged over the years, but become more beautiful and attractive?
"These ignorant people dare to confuse the public with their lies. I brought a few bad guys to ransack their house."
Zhang Sanlang may have been working in a state violence agency for a while recently, and his behavior has become more and more lawless. He heard Li Chongrun telling this street rumor like a joke, as if he was being talked about.
, at that time they started shouting angrily in the street. "The prince and the old lady are so generous to others, let alone Shendu, even if I search all over the world, I can't find anyone else..."
"Okay, if my aunt hears someone saying that she is getting more and more beautiful, I'm afraid she will wake up laughing in her dreams, and maybe even give her a reward. These are just rumors, nothing to harm her."
Li Chongrun calmed down the furious Zhang Sanlang with a smile. This boy had just left Dali Temple for duty and had not even taken off his black skin when he was bumped into by Li Chongrun. He just happened to drag him to follow him to the West Market.
"Then we can't arrange our own family like this." The third son of the Zhang family cursed a few more words, and then turned to fawn over Li Chongrun: "A few days ago, Jia Ci sent a message from Yangzhou, saying that my sister is not young.
I asked if I could come into the mansion to find some work. If the prince feels that there is a shortage of people in the mansion, we will call the girl over right now. There are many ships from Yangzhou to Shendu, and they will arrive soon."
When the third son of the Zhang family saw Li Chongrun coming to the West Market to buy someone, he remembered the arrangements made by his mother-in-law and quickly got close to Li Chongrun.
"If a child doesn't go to school, what's the point of doing odd jobs in the house? It's not like the Tenant Camp and the Royal Academy don't recruit girls. Could it be that your girl was expelled by the teacher for being too naughty?"
"My girl is gentle and considerate. She is also very smart. She is a bit clumsy and tongue-tied. She can't learn it in school anyway. Jia Ci thinks that it is useless to learn those things. It is better to go to the palace to find out.
If you do some things, you can find a proud husband among these brothers and sisters, and you will have nothing to worry about in this life."
It turned out that I was still thinking about the first-come-first-serve thing. I thought that the mother's idea was probably an excuse, and it was probably Zhang San's own idea.
—
"Tell your mother, children from our tenant camps must complete elementary school. If they don't get admitted to the Royal College, they can work out. Otherwise, as long as they can go to school, they will stay in school even if they go to old age and die."
Squat down, our Wangfu family has a great business, and we can still afford to support these students."
Although he was unable to provide compulsory education all over the world, if it was just a tenant camp, it would be easy for Li Chongrun to do such a thing.
Seeing Zhang 31 nodded in agreement with a disappointed look, Li Chongrun started talking to him again about the joke in the West Market.
Just as he was saying that the boss of Lifa Ya shop likes to sleep in the dungeon of the tooth shop, everyone looked up and saw Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was carrying a guard of honor, coming from the direction of Lifa Ya shop with a livid face and killing the general.
"The King of Linzi has met Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping."
Since the withdrawal of the Overwatch Council, the relationship between Fengyiwei and the Overwatch Council has become much weaker. In addition, Her Royal Highness the Princess was busy with something unknown recently. Li Chongrun then remembered that he had not seen his aunt for a long time.
"Okay, I never see you greeting people so seriously."
Princess Taiping wore men's clothes today, with a purple gold crown tied high on her head, and two vertical eyebrows flying across her head. She was so heroic that the bystanders who looked over did not even dare to look directly at her. "Why are you not here today?"
I saw you going shopping with two oil bottles?"
"Xianhui went to work in the workshop, and Guo'er was called by her mother to go to the mansion to discuss matters. Besides, the two girls didn't like the West Market, so my nephew came by himself."
It's just that Li Chongrun is no longer the young man who was trembling on the ground when he was suppressed by Princess Taiping's aura earlier. He just feels that he hasn't seen his aunt in men's clothes for a long time. The title of the most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty is really not something to cover, even if she is wearing only one suit.
Men's clothing can also bring out a lot of charming and charming styles.
"I heard that your workshop is planning to build a road made of iron, capable of pulling heavy objects of a thousand kilograms between Mang Mountain and Shendu?"
"It's not made entirely of iron, it's just wood inlaid with iron sheets, which can increase the load-bearing capacity a lot."
Things like railways are not within the financial reach of ordinary people. Even if it is an experimental line from Mangshan to Shendu, Li Chongrun calculated that the cost is very scary, so he wanted to come here to find a train.
Talk to the second rich man about whether you can get some investment.
"Speaking of this railway, can Her Royal Highness the Princess make some suggestions to Your Majesty? Because the railway requires a lot of iron, and it is just placed on the ground, my nephew is worried that some young people will do something to take advantage of it. Can my nephew do it?
Set up a road protection team or something, after all, that is a lot of money, and if these irons are lost among the people, it is really not a good thing."
Princess Taiping had long known that Li Chongrun had this plan, and her aunt had already sent a message to him, but there was no reply on this matter, which made Li Chongrun a little anxious.
"If you can't let His Majesty see the benefits of your railway, there really is no reason."
"The benefits and so on will naturally come to light after some time."
"Then let's talk about the benefits. Let's go!"
Without explaining why she ran out of King Jianchang so aggressively, Princess Taiping left just like that, leaving Li Chongrun alone in a trap.
