Cheng Yang, Wu Mei and the others were going to Silla as envoys, but Li Yuanying had to be bored in Chang'an, and Li Yuanying was not in a good mood.

The subordinates of Honghe Temple were basically subdued by him, and Li Yuanying urged Li Chengqian to recruit some people for Honglu Temple. Next year, the World Expo will be over, and the envoys from various countries will have to be sent back.

We are a country of etiquette, how can we not send our guests home properly? If these people encounter any troubles on the way home or after returning home, we can also help them with the sending mission, so that they can come to the exhibition happily in two years.

Li Chengqian felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement. In the past, when envoys came to Chang'an, Tang also gave gifts first, and then Honglu Temple sent people back. This time, more countries were invited, so there must be more envoys. Honglu Temple must have people.

The uncles and nephews got together and thought that recruiting 40,000 to 50,000 people was barely enough. If they came from 100 countries, the 40,000 to 50,000 people would be divided into a team of 400 to 500 people. Is there a lot of people? Not much! If he didn't think it would be bad to have too many people, he thought that two to three hundred thousand people would be enough!

Hearing Li Yuanying's analysis, Li Chengqian felt that it was not much, so he and Li Yuanying went to His Majesty Li Er to discuss the results of the two people's discussions.

His Majesty Li Er heard that Li Yuanying's lion opened his big mouth, which cost 50,000 people, and almost wanted to ask someone to throw Li Yuanying out. Does he know how many people are in total in the imperial guards guarding Chang'an

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Yuanying, then at Li Chengqian, and decided to call Changsun Wuji and the others to scold these two bastards. He was too lazy to scold, because getting too angry could hurt his liver.

Li Yuanying thought that His Majesty Li Er had asked someone to come over to discuss it, but he was quickly sprayed by a group of little old men who were powerless to ask for advice. It was the first time for him to see the fighting power of Changsun Wuji and the others firing together. Seeing that His Majesty Li Er and Li Chengqian were both accustomed to it, he admired it very much.

Seeing that the matter could not be accomplished, Li Yuanying backed down reluctantly: "50,000 is not enough, 20,000 to 30,000 is fine, no matter how few people there are, our World Expo will lose its momentum." He continued to lobby against the gunfire, "The big deal, just It’s fine if they are borrowed from other places, and they will return to their positions after they have been trained. All of them are talents who can stand up to ten. We have many such people in Tengzhou, and they have traveled a long way. I have seen the customs and customs of various places, whether it is dealing with official affairs or dealing with people, it is amazing. Why not assign people to Honglu Temple first, and it’s not like letting these people stay under the management of Honglu Temple.”

After a heated debate between the two parties, Li Yuanying left very unhappy with the result that he could only second 10,000 people.

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little tired from being troubled by Li Yuanying, so he stayed to tell His Majesty Li Er that the crown prince trusted Li Yuanying too much, and he even dared to ask for 50,000 people! Li Yuanying is such a scumbag, the lion doesn't say anything, he dares to get angry if he doesn't give it to him!

His Majesty Li Er's expression was indifferent, and he could not see any joy or anger. He let Changsun Wuji speak dryly and said: "Everyone is given to him, let's see what he does." He is in his prime, and his power is stable. Holding it in his hands, Li Yuanying was so stupid that he wanted to persuade the crown prince to do something with the 10,000 people. That would be no different from courting death. He didn't think Li Yuanying would be so stupid.

Seeing what His Majesty Li Er said, Changsun Wuji stopped persuading him. He could feel that His Majesty Li Er's attitude was changing, but he couldn't figure out how the change was, so he could only wait and see.

Changsun Wuji went home with all kinds of thoughts, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard that Li Yuanying had come and was talking to his son-in-law, Changsun Chong. Princess Changle did not set up another princess mansion after she got married, but lived in Changsun's mansion. She served her parents-in-law very attentively and has always been a role model for women in Chang'an.

Changsun Wuji knew that Li Yuanying was coming, and his heart skipped a beat, feeling not very good. He knows about his son, he has no skills, and he has become a Zongzheng Shaoqing by virtue of his status as a son-in-law. Although he doesn't do any stupid things, he likes to invite friends to drink, and he is often carried back when he is drunk. They were all worried that one day they would hear the news that their son had drowned in the wine jar.

Changsun Wuji always felt that the fact that the two had no children might have something to do with his son's alcoholism. If they hadn't been married for so many years, Changle would have had it no matter how weak he was. What did Li Yuanying want to do when he suddenly ran to find his son

Changsun Wuji looked over and saw Li Yuanying holding his son's hand eagerly and saying, "I think Zongzheng Shaoqing has no future, so you should come to our Honglu Temple. I've been thinking about it for a long time today. Only you can do the best thing!"

Changsun Wuji was furious when he heard this. Zongzheng Shaoqing has no future, he is also in charge of the affairs of the royal family and foreign relatives, the serious one is from the fourth-rank official, if he goes to Honghe Temple, Li Yuanying has already taken the Honglu Temple minister, and the only one left is Honghe Temple Cheng, That is the sixth rank official! As a son-in-law, the more you get around, the more you go back, and you won't be laughed to death if you say it

The hateful thing is that I don't know what Li Yuanying said to his son, but his son still looks moved.

Changsun Wuji couldn't listen any longer, stepped in, and interrupted their conversation with a smile: "I don't know what His Highness is going to do?"

Li Yuanying opened his eyes wide and began to digress: "Oh, A Chong is such a big man, you still call him Chong'er, it sounds weird. You still treat A Chong as a child, A Chong is not young, you should Let him do what he likes, don't control him and hold him back, let him try."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Changsun Wuji really wanted to drive Li Yuanying out.

When the father saw his son, he wanted to take care of his son and stood aside and refused to leave. Li Yuanying had no choice but to change from lobbying Changsun Chong to lobbying Changsun Wuji. The World Expo must display some treasures of the Tang Dynasty, such as the fine wines of the Tang Dynasty. After thinking about it, he felt that Sun Chong was the most suitable for this.

In terms of love of drinking, Sun Chong, the head of Chang'an City, was ranked second, and no one dared to be number one. Although it is not a good thing to drink too much, but he loves it so much, it is better to let him play it to the fullest.

Li Yuanying said: "At that time, our exhibition venue will extend from Chang'an to Luoyang. This road will be very convenient for water and land, and it will be very convenient to transport goods. Now people have sent back the willingness to participate from various countries. The site is being allocated, and the missions will help them build the pavilion as soon as they arrive.”

In Li Yuanying's plan, the pavilions of the World Expo were all built with the help of generous dignitaries and rich families. They have funded the construction of the pavilion, and in the future they can have the right to negotiate related goods with priority over the corresponding country, and they can also spend money to take pictures of these exotic pavilions after the exhibition.

Since there are exotic pavilions, there is also a Tang Pavilion. For example, Li Yuanying came to Zhang Sunchong to discuss the "Wine Culture" pavilion. Around the theme of wine, a pavilion similar to "Wine Street" was built, and all wine-related All things are integrated, and all drinking history, wine poems and poems, all wine singing and dancing are all displayed.

After reading the preliminary plan compiled by Li Yuanying, Chang Sun Chong was fascinated immediately, feeling that this place was simply a fairyland for him. He couldn't wait to communicate with Li Yuanying for a long time, talking to Li Yuanying about what could be improved, and then there was the scene where Li Yuanying opened his mouth to poach people.

Changsun Wuji only knew that Li Yuanying patted his chest to promise not to pay the court, but he didn't know that Li Yuanying wanted to make such a name for himself. Li Yuanying and His Majesty Li Er are in the same line, and they always do everything in the Dali, how grand they are, how grand they are, this kind of momentum of "I want to do big things no matter what" is very bluffing, no wonder his son is fooled by Li Yuanying Fascinated.

Changsun Wuji said with a smile on his face, "Staying in Zongzheng Temple, Ah Chong can also be responsible for this. There are already enough Honglu eunuchs, so why let Ah Chong go?"

Hearing Changsun Wuji say this, Li Yuanying immediately remembered that he wanted 50,000 people to be cut into 10,000 by Changsun Wuji and the others.

Li Yuanying sighed: "The more I chat with A Chong, the more speculative we get. I really want him to come to Honglu Temple so that we can chat when we have nothing to do. Now that you have said so, let A Chong work hard. Take care of everything!" Li Yuanying once again grabbed Chang Sun Chong's hand and entrusted him, "I will leave the 'wine' to you. If the exhibition hall is well managed, all countries will treat us in the Tang Dynasty. I will never forget the good wine, spoil them, make them want to come again, no matter how high the price is, they want to buy it!"

Chang Sun Chong was indeed the type of person who had been arranged clearly since he was a child. He had never made up his own mind about anything. Li Yuanying's words "let him try" really touched his heart.

Chang Sun Chong was full of passion and fighting spirit all of a sudden: "No problem, leave it to me!"

Seeing Changsun Wuji's constipated expression, Li Yuanying didn't stay any longer, got up and said that he was going to pick up his concubine and talk to Changle by the way. Chang Sun Chong now sees Li Yuanying pleasing to the eye, feels that Li Yuanying is his confidant, and warmly leads Li Yuanying to see Changle.

Wei Shu and Chang Le chatted very well, Wei Shu is good at calligraphy, Chang Le is also quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting, the two of them will not feel bored just talking about calligraphy and painting. Wei Shu was also honored to appreciate the authentic work of Empress Changsun in Changle's collection, but it is a pity that she was not able to see it with her own eyes.

Changle was also very happy to see Li Yuanying, and praised Wei Shu's calligraphy with Li Yuanying, and how Li Yuanying practiced his calligraphy.

Li Yuanying snorted twice: "Although my handwriting is not as good as my sister's, it is still very good!" He thought for a while, passed the eldest nephew, then the third nephew, and then the fourth nephew, and finally gave an example, "Anyway, it must be better than my sister's handwriting!" Hello Pheasant Slave!"

The two sat down and chatted, and then Li Yuanying and Wei Shu went back to the mansion. Chang Le asked Chang Sun Chong: "What does Uncle Yao want from you?"

Chang Sun Chong told Chang Le about the wine culture exhibition hall, and when he mentioned wine, he immediately beamed with joy, and he didn't look like he was going to work as a errand on weekdays. After all the words were finished, Chang Sun Chong finally remembered that Chang Le usually didn't like him drinking, and had advised him a lot. He said awkwardly: "I have to arrange this pavilion well, and I will definitely not drink too much."

Chang Le hadn't interrupted Chang Sun Chong who was in high spirits just now, and only said after hearing what Chang Sun Chong said: "I believe in you." She let Chang Sun Chong hold her hand, with a faint smile on her face, "Wait for the exhibition hall It's finished, can you take me to have a look?"

When Chang Sun Chong heard Chang Le say this, his heart suddenly became hot, and he immediately said: "Okay, I will definitely take you there, and we will be the first to pass there."

On the other side, Li Yuanying had already returned to Prince Teng's Mansion with Wei Shu.

Wei Shu asked how Li Yuanying and Changsun Chong were talking, and Li Yuanying naturally said that he would succeed immediately, and there was nothing he couldn't do, but he couldn't help muttering to Changsun Wuji: "He treats me like a thief. , I don’t think Ah Chong is doing very well in Zongzheng Temple, do you want Ah Chong to try another place? Now I think Honglu Temple is fun!”

Wei Shu felt that Changsun Wuji was definitely not the only one who guarded Li Yuanying as a thief.

Li Yuanying didn't realize this at all, so after dinner he said to Wei Shu, "Let's go and see Xiao Youyu and the others!" Ever since they had the little female general Li Youyu, Li Xiaoyuan's position in their hearts began to decline. Moved back, in the past it was said to go to see Li Xiaoyuanqiu, but now it is changed to watch Xiao Youyu!

Seeing Li Yuanying's excited face, Wei Shu endured not reminding him that Li Tai wanted to throw them out of the house every time, and went to Wei Wangfu with Li Yuanying as guests.

Yan Shi was naturally happy to see Wei Shu, and enthusiastically pulled Wei Shu to talk.

Li Tai lost his temper when he saw Li Yuanying, his face was darker than the bottom of the pot. Li Yuanying didn't come to look for Li Tai, seeing Li Tai's expression became interested again. Seeing that Li Xiaoyuanqiu and the others hadn’t come yet, he sat down politely and asked how the planning of the Li Taiwen History Museum was going, whether the volunteers were active or not, and said, “I’m very active, I’m serious, and I care about the progress of the preparation.” professional appearance.

Li Tai was intimidated by Li Yuanying's attitude, and he endured even if he wanted to drive Li Yuanying out of the house, and patiently picked some important matters to talk to Li Yuanying. As a result, he was only halfway through the speech when Li Xiaoyuan came running over with his younger siblings, excitedly yelling at Li Yuanying.

Although Li Yuanying has finished reading all the books he can read, he basically reads them as stories, but he is still not very good at literature and history. Li Tai is a little confused when he talks about it in depth. He thinks that scholars are so particular, how can there be so many twists and turns, this won't work, that won't work, it makes him dizzy!

So when he saw a few cute little dolls coming, Li Yuanying immediately forgot what question he had asked Li Tai just now, picked up his grandniece and ran outside to play with his two grandnephews.

Li Tai: "..."

It's really unreasonable!

Next time, he must have someone block Li Yuanying outside, and not allow Li Yuanying to step into Wei Wangfu again!

The author has something to say:

Little prince: The fourth nephew seems cute when he is serious, but he is still cuter as a child Fourth nephew: I am tired, I don’t want to be a villain anymore, I have nothing to love.jpg
