Don't be a prince

Stretched out his foot and kicked Li Yifu? Li Chengqian hated the iron and said: "Do you know, this is the officials' promotion of you. It is true that Beijing officials can be promoted directly? But why don't you think about the difficulty of promotion? Grasslands can indeed make achievements, but you Why don't you think about how difficult it is? What happened to the magistrate? This is a place carefully selected by the Ministry of officials for you. Zhuo County is located in the middle of Shu? But it is extremely poor? Just need a smart magistrate who can lead them to become rich. Besides, Zhuo The county is not far from your hometown, so the matter of Guangzong Yaozu naturally has to be closer to home.

When other people serve as Beijing officials, they all start from the eighth rank or even the eighth rank, and you will directly become the magistrate of the seventh rank. There is a difference of two or three ranks, so don't be ashamed.You must know that your thesis is also graded by Shangshang. If it is not Shangshang, do you think a special case will be made for you? "

Li Yifu cupped his hands in shame, took the official documents and left.The truth is such a truth, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Where is it?

After he finished Li Yi's mansion, Li Chengqian saw Qiu Haiqing coming over under Li Daliang's entanglement.The Ministry of Industry still doesn't know that he has joined the East Palace system, so it is trying its best to persuade him to join the Ministry of Industry.There are only a few people with Shangshang and Special Excellent ratings. If the Ministry of Industry can get one, it will be a very face-saving thing.

"Li Shangshu, don't talk about it, Qiu Haiqing is already a talent recruited alone, are you going to compete with Donggong?"

Seeing the prince, Li Daliang gave up and began to look for the next person in the match.He didn't even have time to see how Li Yifu was doing.

Qiu Haiqing grinned and stood beside the prince, no matter how you look at it, he deserves a beating.However, his achievements were earned by himself, so he can't be too arrogant.

"Okay, it's over for a while. I don't know that my behavior is disgusting? Feng Zhidai is going south tomorrow. Originally, I wanted you to go south together, but seeing your bad behavior, I'll give it to you again. It’s a one-month holiday, go back to your hometown and offer incense to your ancestors. After the holiday is over, go to Lingnan.”

After driving away Qiu Haiqing, looking at these students in the lobby, Li Chengqian couldn't help but want to gather some of them together.It's hard to find talents. You must know that shopkeepers who can settle accounts are scarce. It is a good arrangement to recruit a few college students to manage the property.

"Don't think about it, there are a lot of officials to be dispatched to the grassland, and Mr. Yang Du told me not to recruit too many, the imperial court is not enough, so don't think about it."

The emperor didn't know when he appeared by his side, which startled Li Chengqian.

Yang Du, who had already tidied up his appearance, followed the emperor and said with a smile: "This is only the first batch of graduates. Soon, the second batch of graduates will also start the process of traveling thousands of miles. I am looking forward to the next batch of graduates." Junior students can be like these children now.”

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Yes, as long as the policy on the grassland is effective, there will still be many positions on the vast grassland. There will always be former court officials who resign or even die in office. In the era of the old and the new, the court needs it very much." Talent!"

Glancing at the students in the lobby, Li Shimin let out a long sigh of relief.

During this critical period, there appeared a way to replace the aristocratic nobles and split the power of the court. How can we not make him happy?

With his hands behind his back, the emperor who can rest all day today is naturally unwilling to go back early, but is going to stroll around the academy.

Not to disturb the emperor's elegant mood, after changing his clothes, he sent Zhang Yun to send the clothes back to the East Palace for washing, and Li Chengqian took a few guards to the farm.

Geng Buqu sent news that he had selected 200 people.

Compared with the original scale, the current farm is not known how much bigger.The emergence of farms has completely occupied the meat market around Chang'an. Many butchers who can't continue to work have not lost their jobs because of this. Instead, they have been recruited by the farms to work.

There are no old court ladies and eunuchs among the working people now. A village not far from the farm is inhabited by these people. With the help of the farm, they can wait for the end of their lives without worry.

Liao Zhong was still in charge of the farm, and he was overjoyed to see the prince coming, so he immediately ordered his staff to prepare meals.

After entering the farm and sending everyone away, Li Chengqian saw the 200 people of Geng Buqu and the dark guard.

A death squad of 200 people.

"Your Highness, these 200 people are willing to be driven by His Highness, and this old slave promised them that I will set them free when I come back this time."

This is the case in a class society, and many times freedom needs to be exchanged with one's life.

Walking in front of these 200 people, Li Chengqian coughed and said: "I will give you one last chance. If you don't want to go, you can stand up and stand up. I guarantee that no one will say anything against you."

After waiting for a while, no one came forward.

Li Chengqian nodded: "It's okay, it shows that your minds are still very firm. On your journey, wind, frost, rain and snow are all trivial things. What you are most afraid of is encountering wild beasts or even handing in hand-to-hand combat with savages. You have such firm beliefs. Gu is more confident that you can get there. But I want to tell you that I have only read the description in the ancient books of the barbarians, and I am not sure whether the thing you are looking for exists, so you are all in vain. is also very likely.

However, success or failure, I owe you all.As long as you can come back, it will be a great achievement.Let's put it this way, if you don't find it and come back, Gu will still set you free, but if you succeed, Gu guarantees that each of you will get at least [-] yuan in rewards! "

The previous words did not arouse the slightest reaction, but the reward of "[-] guan" immediately made the breathing of the audience heavy.No one can ignore ten thousand guan, not even the emperor.You must know that among businessmen, those with assets over ten thousand are at the level of bigwigs.

The leader, a man with a scarred face, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely do our best to complete the task, but I don't know what exactly you asked me to look for?"

"The things you're looking for, whether it's patterns or introductions, are here. Not only do you need to find them, but you also need a suitable transportation method for them so they won't die. You even need to plant them once before crossing the sea. Only when you harvest can you bring it back..."

Taking out the strategy that he had prepared a long time ago, Li Chengqian handed it into Scarface's hands.

Scarface was not confused by the fact that he and others worked so hard just for a few seeds, but carefully memorized it under the straightforward explanation.

After Scarface and others had thoroughly remembered it, Li Chengqian said: "When the equipment prepared by Gu arrives for you, you can set off. Set off now. It is estimated that you will arrive at this place called Bering Strait in the cold winter. I don't know how difficult this journey is, I can only wish all of you a safe return!"

After speaking, Li Chengqian turned and left.

Geng Buqu was so shrewd, followed behind and said: "Your Highness, the rewards you have set for them are already enough, and they are willing to accept this, so you don't need to feel sorry."

Li Chengqian said with a sigh of relief: "Perhaps Gu really doesn't have the mentality needed to do big things, but if they can succeed, the reward of [-] yuan is really chilling. You go back and inform the remaining members of the dark guard, and start doing it too." Get ready, it won't be long before the Wuzhong Kuaiji family should have people who can make decisions come to Chang'an, and the bank should also be established."

After having a meal at the farm, Li Chengqian got into the carriage and returned to the East Palace.

Lying in the carriage of the carriage, a sense of powerlessness seemed to permeate from the bones and spread to the whole body.

This is the way to do things. It is just a fantasy, as if everything is as simple as picking teeth, but when you really do it, you will find that the reality is full of obstacles.In order to complete one thing, the effort required is linked to the complexity of the matter.People who only see the achievements of others but ignore the hard work of others are the most hateful.

It's hard enough to bear the title of "Prince Genius"!

Staggering, he entered Chang'an City unknowingly.

Just as he was about to stand up and look at the scenery outside to change his mood, the carriage suddenly stopped.

After a while, Dafu's face appeared in the carriage: "Your Highness, the princess said that the empress is going out of the palace to visit her majesty at the academy. Miss Su's family was called into the palace by the empress empress today, and she will stay overnight... "

"Understood, Gu will go back now."

Self-confessing that he is not a person who easily commits nympho, Li Chengqian sensed that something was wrong in this matter.

It stands to reason that it was impossible for me to hide what I did last time from the emperor's father and the others. Why did I have another chance today?Is it so easy for a little girl who has not left the cabinet to stay overnight?Although Su Yuan was pretty and had a quiet personality, she wouldn't let the empress love her so much.

At this time, Li Chengqian felt like a black cat that smelled fish. He clearly saw the cat trap wrapped in fish, but he couldn't help but try again and again, and finally got into it with his whole body.

After returning to the East Palace, Li Chengqian was not in a hurry, but sent people from the Alliance of the Lowly to spy on the situation.

There is no doubt that the empress did leave the palace and was going to spend the night with the emperor in the academy palace, and Su Yuan was indeed left in the palace, and she is now in Changle.It's just that the harem is the territory of the emperor's father. Although he is a son, the female creatures in the harem, except for the old lady, cannot be contaminated by himself.It is impossible to go there, so I can only pray for Changle to bring her here.

Seeing the prince's doubts, Fang Sheng leaned over and said, "If Your Highness wants to, I can find a few people to find a way to do this."

Feeling the firmness in Fang Sheng's words, Li Chengqian shook his head repeatedly and said, "Come on, it's not worthwhile to take a few lives for a trivial matter. Just wait, Changle should have a solution."

After persuading Fang Sheng to quit, Li Chengqian lay down on the table, feeling that time passed so slowly for the first time.

The Alliance of the Lowly is a hidden power, and it cannot be used until the moment of real crisis.If the emperor did not know the existence of this organization, Li Chengqian would not believe it.Perhaps, the reason why the emperor didn't wield the butcher's knife was that the original intention of this organization was to let the old maids and eunuchs who left the palace have a better life, and they didn't do anything out of the ordinary.If they dare to cross the line, or even touch the edge of the taboo, they will definitely be severely punished.

Night had already fallen, and it was time for dinner, but Li Chengqian didn't think about it at all. The simple dining table was placed in the study room, and the fragrance was very fragrant, but...

Just when Li Chengqian was about to give up and ordered the guards at the front gate to close the palace gate, Zhang Yun ran in, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Princess Changle sent me a gift, saying that she is afraid of the cold, so it needs to be sent directly to your study. "

"What? Bring it here."

After a while, four court ladies walked into the study carrying a large box.Xiaoyun, Changle's personal maid, pointed to the box and said, "Your Highness, the princess said that this gift can only be lent to you for one night, and it will be returned to her early tomorrow morning. The servants and others will live in the East Palace tonight, and return it to you." I hope His Highness will grant you."

"Sure, you guys go down. Fang Sheng, arrange a place for them and treat them well."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian took out a gold bar from the cupboard and threw it to Xiaoyun, so happy that Xiaoyun squatted down again and again: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

After driving everyone away, Li Chengqian walked to the box.

It was such a big box, and it took four maids to carry it, which meant that the things inside were quite valuable.

Seeing a finger-thick hole on the box, Li Chengqian smiled, it's really precious!

After knocking on the box, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Is there anyone inside?"

no respond?But don't hold back.

Li Chengqian quickly opened the box, but after seeing the scene inside, he suddenly laughed so hard that his stomach hurts.

His guess was still correct, the person curled up with the quilt inside was indeed Su Yuan.It's just that the girl's breath is long now, and she is obviously asleep.

This is enough to fall asleep, Li Chengqian really doesn't know what to say.

With the lessons learned from Lao Junguan, Li Chengqian could only stretch out his hand and pat her face, not daring to get close to her at all.

After patting twice, Su Yuan opened her eyes and looked at the surrounding environment in a daze. When she saw Li Chengqian, she blushed immediately, and pulled the quilt to cover her face.

"All right, all right, didn't I just fall asleep? I went to visit Zhang Liang's house before, and I fell asleep as soon as I went out. I ended up lying in the carriage at Zhang's house and slept all morning."

Hearing what the prince said, Su Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat up from the box.

"Nizi Changle told me to hide in the box and play a game. I guessed it would be like this. Although the empress and emperor are not here, it's too dangerous for us to do this."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "It's quite dangerous, but from my point of view, the queen mother should have done this on purpose. Even if she finds out, I'll bear it at worst."

After speaking, Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and pulled Su Yuan to stand up.

Carefully climbing out of the box, she looked around again. When she saw the vanilla, Su Yuan suddenly became happy, and went to the desk to see how the vanilla was growing.

"How about it, I'm doing well."

"Well, it's very good. It's better than what I raised. Changle asked me to write the note last time. Don't get me wrong."

"If I can't tell whose tone it is, how stupid I am, I can figure out what's going on with a guess."

Chapter 286 I'm Back

Having said that, an inexplicable lag suddenly appeared.Not knowing what Su Yuan was thinking, her face suddenly turned red.

Well, a lonely man and a widow share a room.

Stretching out his hand to pinch Su Yuan's face, Li Chengqian smiled: "What are you thinking, I'm very happy to see you. Tell me, did the last time we met, have you been exposed?"

Su Yuan was startled, nodded and said, "When I went back, I was exposed in the carriage. But the empress didn't punish me, she just told me to be careful, if...if..."

Seeing Su Yuan covering her face, Li Chengqian knew what it was.

However, although this body has entered puberty now, and from time to time, I can't help thinking about some weird things, but after all, my mentality is not that of a child.People who are in their 30s and almost [-] years old when the two generations add up, there is nothing else that can't be ignored.

Well, both lives are still virgins.

Looking at the meals on the small table, Li Chengqian now has an appetite again, and now the best side dishes have been delivered, even if he doesn't eat, he will be full.

"Have you had dinner? Do you want to eat together?"

Only then did Su Yuan remember that since entering the palace in the morning, she had eaten lunch and a few pastries. Seeing that the prince was looking forward to it, she nodded.

Walking to the dining table, he handed Su Yuan a pair of chopsticks, and Li Chengqian began to eat.

Don't look at her slender figure, but she doesn't hold back her mouth when eating. After tasting the braised pork, she immediately fell in love with the taste.

"If you like to eat, I will send the apprentice of the Eastern Palace cook to your home. He usually cooks the dishes on the Eastern Palace's menu."

"How can you give someone a gift, but it turned out to be from the cook."

Although he refuted it a bit, the feeling of being cared for was very warm after all, so Su Yuan didn't refuse.

After a comfortable meal, Li Chengqian immediately felt that his wild thoughts during the day were too ridiculous.Is it a child's idea to do things smoothly? Even if the process is tortuous? As long as the goal is achieved in the end, it is worth it.

After eating? Didn't ask someone to clean up? After Li Chengqian wiped his mouth clean, he walked to the desk? He took out a small bag from the drawer and handed it to Su Yuan.

"Is this a flower from the Western Regions brought by a caravan from the Western Regions? Just don't know if it can be grown in our Central Plains? Take it back and try."

"Ah."

After receiving the small bag, Su Yuan's face blushed again.

From childhood to adulthood, the prince is still the second person who loves her so much.As for her father? It was probably not until she was selected as the crown princess? He didn't pay attention to her for the first time.Before, I'm afraid she didn't even care if she was alive.Unlike the daughter of a big family, she is the baby of the relatives. In the home of a low-level official, her existence is more like a burden, because when she gets married, she has to pay a dowry.

Open the door of the study? Li Chengqian whistled outside, and under the moonlight? A black shadow rushed over, it was Heitantou.

Seeing outsiders in the room? Heitan was about to show his teeth? He was patted by Li Chengqian.So Heitan lowered his head directly, strolled up to Su Yuan and wagged his tail.

It was the first time that Su Yuan was so close to a dog, and Su Yuan was very surprised. She tried to feed the meat from the dish, but Heitantou ignored it, which was obviously delicious meat.

"Eat."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Heitantou opened his mouth and started to eat voraciously.

"This dog is called Heitantou. It's very interesting. It can shake hands, sit, lie down, and do a lot of things. It's a bit difficult for its brain to teach arithmetic, so I didn't teach it. You play with it for a while , Don’t worry, I won’t bite you. I still have some memorials here that I haven’t finished processing, and I’ll talk to you after I finish processing.”

Seeing that Su Yuan was just playing with Heitantou and didn't listen, Li Chengqian smiled, walked to the desk and began to process the memorial.

During the vacation period, Menxia Province still issued a decree, which really attracted the attention of the whole world.With the restraint of this law, even if those landlords, old, rich, merchants and nobles don't want to, they can only agree to share the profits to hire the people who are not in the field.

Facing the imperial court, they still dare not defy, but no one can say for sure whether there will be people who will obey the law.If you want the monkey to be honest, you still have to kill a chicken in front of it. If possible, it is the best choice to invite it to watch the plucking, disemboweling, stewing and enjoying a dragon.

"It's better if someone does this. A strict government order, if you don't take a few idiots under the knife, who will follow it honestly?"

After talking to himself, Li Chengqian replied on Wei Zheng's memorial: "The government order has been issued, and the rest is just supervision. The censor should pretend to be a surprise inspection. If there are still criminals who know the law under the heavy punishment, they should be severely sentenced and announced to the world. In this way, public concerns can be settled."

This is just a memorial similar to a report, and it will be sent to the incinerator after it is approved and returned to the province. That's why Li Chengqian wrote words similar to letters on the memorial.As for other memorials, it should be as concise and concise as possible. If classical Chinese is not enough, I would rather find a piece of paper to write a reply and insert it into the memorial than to be perfunctory.At this point, the officials of the three provinces have seen the seriousness of the prince's work.

On the other hand, after trying a few moves that Heitantou could do, Su Yuan lost the energy she had at the beginning, scratching the dog's belly while looking at the prince by the desk.

When she learned that she was chosen as the crown princess, she was still very worried.This is still the case in the back house of my own house, but I heard that the palace fights in the palace are even more powerful.The emperor, the prince, which one is not surrounded by a large number of women?

However, now that she gradually understands, she suddenly finds that her fear of entering the palace is actually just that she doesn't understand what kind of person the prince is.
