Princess Meixi was shocked and Li Longji disapproved of her question and did not want to answer. Li Longji smiled at Princess Meixi secretly.
"Create some surprises for Twenty-One, let him know that I know what he has done, haha, interesting and interesting." Li Longji said to himself for a while, and then asked Gao Lishi to ask Princess Meixi to step down.
The sudden act of kindness was not at all for the sake of the peace of the country, nor for the frank little princess, but for twenty-one, and for the love for the little prince in my heart.
Make a detour and help Princess Meixi, even if it is a reward or a favor to Twenty-One.
A powerful force, an armored army of thousands of people, and an escort of thousands of miles!
Being willful is indeed the style of an emperor.
Li Longji was enjoying himself alone. Thinking about the way Twenty-one was shocked and liked his decision when he found out about it, Li Longji felt extremely proud.
When walking towards the harem, Li Longji's pride was still hanging on his brows. Seeing that the boss was in a good mood, Gao Lishi promptly flattered him.
Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty, why are you in such a good mood today?"
Li Longji smiled and asked: "Xiao Gao, guess why I am in such a good mood?"
Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty made strategic plans and handled the affairs of the country in just one sentence. Even though I didn't understand, I was happy for Your Majesty."
Li Longji said: "Do you think I am doing it for the Koryo Kingdom? Wrong. The affairs of the Koryo Kingdom will be handled through consultation between the Ministry of War and Honglu Temple. Xiao Gao, do you think Twenty-One will be very happy if I treat Princess Meixi like this?
?”
Gao Lishi asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, you sent Princess Meixi back to the country with great fanfare. Is it because of the twenty-first prince?"
Li Longji said: "What do you think?"
Gao Lishi pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, your majesty is wise! Princess Meixi and the twenty-first prince are a perfect match. They are talented and beautiful, and they are also very filial to your majesty. The twenty-first prince knows your majesty's intentions.
, I must be so excited that I can’t sleep.”
Li Longji smiled and said: "The more I see this little guy, the more I like him. I don't know why. He is so thoughtful and wise in his actions and words."
Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty has taught you well, and the twenty-one princes are talented and intelligent."
Li Longji said: "It's better than I don't know. There are so many princes and princesses, but Twenty-One has a pure mind and the best brain. If the prince has 20-30% of Twenty-One, I will be relieved, hey."
Li Longji shook his head, and when he mentioned Prince Li Heng, he sounded like he hated iron.
Gao Lishi didn't dare to answer the question. One wrong word on such a sensitive question would not only make Li Longji suspicious, but also risk moving his head at any time.
Gao Lishi hurriedly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, Fufeng County Lieutenant Yang Zhao has been summoned immediately. If there are no delays on the way, we should arrive in the capital in the evening."
Li Longji likes the topic about Yang Yuhuan the most.
Sure enough, Li Longji was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "No matter how late it is, as long as Yang Zhao comes to Beijing, he will come to see me immediately and don't delay for a moment."
Gao Lishi agreed, and the two quickly disappeared between the rockery pond in the harem.
Besides, Lu Xuan, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, received Li Longji's order and did not immediately go back to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to dispatch troops. Instead, he went directly to the Prime Minister's Office. Li Wen, the chief steward of the Prime Minister's Office, received Lu Xuan and sat down.
Lu Xuan asked: "Butler, where is the Prime Minister? I have an urgent military report?"
Li Wen said: "Master Lu, please be patient and have a cup of tea first. Wait a while. The prime minister is talking to the second young master at this time. No one dares to disturb you."
Lu Xuan said: "Second Young Master, how are you doing? Butler, you lead the way, and I will also go and have a look. Where can I sit down to drink tea here?"
Li Wen had no choice but to take Lu Xuan to the backyard. As soon as he turned a few corridors, he saw Li Linfu walking towards him with a smile.
Lu Xuan hurriedly greeted him.
Li Linfu asked: "Master Lu, the Ministry of War Yamen is busy with affairs, do you still have time to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Lu Xuan said: "What Prime Minister Li is really criticizing is that I have been involved in trivial matters recently. I came here specifically to visit the Second Young Master today. Please forgive me."
Li Linfu glanced at Lu Xuan, who had an empty book, and said he was visiting, but it was just a cliché to fool people, and he didn't like it very much.
Li Linfu said coldly: "My jaw is just a minor injury. I don't need to worry about it, Mr. Lu. I'll serve tea in the front hall."
Lu Xuan didn't dare to say anything more, knowing that he had come carelessly today and Li Linfu was unhappy, which was not a good thing.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan was also a seasoned official, so he took advantage of the situation and immediately took out an emergency bank note of one thousand taels from his sleeve, turned around and handed it to Li Wen respectfully.
Lu Xuan said softly: "First Steward, Lu came in a hurry to visit the Second Young Master and did not prepare enough gifts. Please accept this kindness and buy the Second Young Master some tonic and favorite things. I'd like to bother the First Butler."
Emergency silver, for Lu Xuan's level, starts from one thousand taels, and the main filial piety is for the chief officials of the three provinces.
Among the three provinces and six ministries, Lu Xuan was in charge of the Ministry of War, and his immediate boss was Li Linfu, the prime minister in charge of the six ministries.
Li Wen said politely and accepted it calmly. Li Jia had experienced life and death, and by the way, he got hundreds of thousands of money for Li Linfu. In the past few days, Li Wen's hand has become weak when collecting cash bills.
When Li Linfu saw that Lu Xuan had given away the banknote, his dissatisfaction was relieved a little. Instead of going to the front hall to serve tea, he asked Wang Xuan to lead the way and led Lu Xuan directly to the Moon Hall.
The two sat down, Li Wen asked his servants to serve the tea, and then retired, leaving only Wang Zhi waiting behind Li Linfu. Wang Zhi was filial to Li Linfu, more considerate than a son to his father.
Li Linfu asked: "Master Lu, looking at this posture, he must have just come out of the palace? Where is the military situation?"
Lu Xuan said: "Returning to Prime Minister Li is not considered a military affair. Your Majesty summoned me just now, but it was actually for a princess of Goryeo."
Li Linfu asked: "For a princess, you are talking about Princess Meixi?"
Lu Xuan said: "Exactly, there is news that there is an internal problem in Goryeo. The uncle and nephew are fighting for power, which may trigger a civil war. Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of War to send a powerful force to escort Princess Meixi back to the country. Prime Minister Li, the next official
Confused."
Li Linfu asked: "Master Lu is confused, where to start?"
Li Xiang said: "In managing the vassal state, we never participate in the internal fighting of the vassal state. Your Majesty seems to have changed his mind this time?"
Li Linfu was silent for a moment, then suddenly patted the chair in surprise.
Li Linfu chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, this matter was very interesting."
Lu Xuan asked in confusion: "Li Xiang, what's so interesting?"
Li Linfu said: "On the surface, your Majesty is escorting Princess Meixi to subdue the Kingdom of Goryeo and then be gentle to the world. In fact, your Majesty is doing this for one person."
"A single person? Mr. Li, for whom did your Majesty escort the Princess of Korea in such a high-profile manner?" Lu Xuan became more and more confused as he listened.
Li Linfu did not explain, but suddenly darkened his face and said: "For whom, that is the holy will, not random speculation by us. Mr. Lu, I heard that you have been very close to the prince recently, do you have many far-sighted plans?
"
Lu Xuan was still asking questions just now. When he heard Li Linfu suddenly mention the prince, he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down.
Lu Xuan said: "Prime Minister Li, you have been unjustly dismissed. The prince summoned him the day before yesterday, but he only asked about two private matters. There is absolutely no foresight. Lu Xuan is a subordinate of Prime Minister Li, and he will die for Prime Minister Li. There is no second intention?"
Li Linfu said coldly: "That's nonsense. You and I are both subjects of the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty's slaves. We should serve Your Majesty. When did I, Li Linfu, demand your death?"
Lu Xuan wiped his cold sweat and explained: "What Li Xiang said is absolutely true. We should be loyal to His Majesty, and even more loyal to our superiors. Lu Xuan follows Li Xiang, and his heart is as bright as the sun and the moon."
Li Linfu said: "Master Lu has said such words to many people, right? Have I ever treated you badly?"
Lu Xuan was speechless and could only keep kowtowing. It was because of his own confusion that Li Jaw was injured. He knew about it and sent a caring person to visit him and gave him money. Li Linfu still hated him.
Fortunately, I came here in person today. Although he was scolded for no reason, fortunately, Li Linfu didn't seem to be really angry, otherwise he might not be able to wear his official hat firmly.
"Prime Minister Li, Lu Xuan is aware of his crime, please punish him." Lu Xuan could only give up on him and let Li Linfu scold him. If Li Linfu got angry, he would probably let it go.
Li Linfu saw that Lu Xuan's attitude was still sincere and his anger gradually dissipated. He asked in a deep voice: "Who is in charge of the Anton Protectorate now?"
Li Linfu asked knowingly.
Lu Xuan hurriedly replied: "The current head of the Anton Protectorate is Pei Yun."
Li Linfu asked: "What is this person's ability? How many years has he been in office? I have never seen him before. I heard that he has close contacts with the Prince's Mansion? Is this possible?"
Lu Xuan knew in his heart that Li Linfu was looking for trouble for himself. He was talking about Pei Yun having contact with the Prince's Mansion. What was his purpose? It was self-evident.
Lu Xuan was not stupid, and he heard the implication of Li Linfu's words, and immediately said: "Pei Yun is nearly forty years old and has served in the Andong Protectorate for three years. He made no big mistakes, but he also has no special achievements."
Li Linfu shouted: "No merit means fault. Otherwise, why would Your Majesty be so angry and send a powerful force to escort Princess Meixi of Goryeo? Can such a general be blameless?" This chapter has been completed!
