Views:

The two of them turned to look at the door where the sound came from, and saw Mrs. Wu Shun from South Korea slowly walking out of the door accompanied by Mrs. Yang from Rongguo.

The two of them stood at the door with smiles on their faces. Yang continued to speak: "What's wrong with Hong'er? Are you arguing with your cousin again? Look at what you are like? Why are you still using a knife? Stop it quickly." Okay, what's wrong with your cousin? Why did he offend you? Tell your grandma and grandma will take care of him. "

Li Hong walked around Helan Minyue, who was about to help Helan Minzhi up, stepped forward and saluted, "Hong'er has met his grandmother and his aunt."

"You are so sensible and well-behaved, Hong'er. What's wrong today? Why did Minzhi make you angry today? Let all these people back down. How can we be polite and let people see our family's jokes? We have all been fooled. You are now the crown prince. Your father and mother have always praised you. Now that you are the prince of the prison country, your father and mother are not in Chang'an now. You must know how to take care of the overall situation." Yang's face was full of kindness. With a smile on his face, he said to Di Renjie and others: "The prince is young, so he can just follow his temper. Why don't you guys know anything about it? Back off now. My old lady will help their brothers to mediate this huge matter."

Li Hong stood there with only hehe in his heart. In his words, he not only attributed the crime of secretly minting new money to the royal family affairs, but also did not mention or ask what He Lan Minzhi had committed. Instead, he used his father's words first. The emperor and his mother suppressed him, and shamelessly put him in the position of royal parents.

Now Li Hong has seen through these people's shameless attitude and despicable methods towards his mother. The four of them have joined forces, hoping to force his mother to divide the queen's rights to achieve his own selfish desires, and even naturalize He Lan Minzhi. Prince range.

So now, when he treats these people, he will no longer be full of worries as before. He immediately said: "Grandma, this is not something you can handle. This is a major matter for the court. It is against the laws of the Tang Dynasty to mint new money privately. If it is found out that it is a capital crime to secretly mint new money, even the heirs of our royal family, such as Li Sujie and Li Xian, will be arrested if they dare to violate it. Although He Lan Minzhi is a relative of the emperor, the law of the Tang Dynasty does not exist. Because he is a relative of the emperor, he can be treated with some mercy."

Li Hong's words not only characterized the matter as a court legal matter again, but also drew a clear line between the royal family and Helan Minzhi, including Mrs. Rongguo and others.

You are such a brother, you call me brother and brother, I have many people in the royal family, and I won’t let you, Yang, return He Lan Minzhi to the royal clan with just a word.

Yang's face changed slightly, looking at Li Hong's firm eyes, she didn't expect that this yellow-tongued kid would now have such an opinion. With a few words, he would once again classify the family affairs that he had originally classified as a relative of the emperor. It has become a national event.

The Korean lady Wu Shun looked at her mother's face with a somewhat ugly expression, and was deeply afraid of another conflict with Li Hong on the spot, so she walked up to Li Hong with a smile and said: "Okay, okay, whatever Hong'er says, I'll do whatever you want. It all depends on you." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Supervisory State. However, your grandmother is now so old. Normally, Sansi and Chengsi are not with you. This grandmother is the only one left with Minzhi. You took her away now. , Your grandmother is the only one left in Changlefang, so you are not afraid that if your grandmother's health is bad, you will have to be blamed by your father and mother, and you don't think they punish you enough."

As Wu Shun spoke, he walked up to He Lan Minzhi, wiped off the dust on He Lan Minzhi's brocade robe, and continued: "My aunt has given you an idea. How about you just treat Minzhi as being imprisoned in Changlefang for the time being?" How about we deal with it after your father and mother come back? Anyway, Minzhi likes to be with his grandmother. Where else can he go to take care of her? Why not just listen to your words and stay here, waiting for your call? "

If it had been before, Li Hong might have agreed, and at worst, he would have waited for the next opportunity to deal with He Lan Minzhi.

But now that I have seen through the faces of these people, I will no longer be polite to them. So I looked at Mr. Yang on the steps, then at the three Korean ladies, and said calmly: "This matter is easy to handle. If you are afraid that grandma is ill, that's good. My Prince Pu's Mansion has been vacant, and the furnishings are no worse than that of Changlefang. It just so happens that I can take grandma and my aunt over and let me take care of them. "

As soon as Li Hong's plain words came out, Mrs. Yang of Rongguo, Mrs. Wu Shun of Korea, as well as Helan Minyue and Helan Minzhi were shocked at the same time! Li Hong wants to put them under complete house arrest! Never give them any more space.

Whose idea was this? Did Wu Mei send a message to Li Hong in Luoyang? Doesn't your Majesty know? Did Wu Mei and Li Hong join forces to deal with them

Korean wife Wu Shun and her mother, Rong Guo's wife Yang, couldn't help but look at each other. Could it be that this period of time made Wu Mei anxious? So, do you want to use the prince's help to use this opportunity of privately minting new money to get rid of yourself and others

The smile on Mrs. Korea's face could feel stiff even to herself. Facing Li Hong, she reluctantly spoke again: "This... It's rare for Hong'er to have such filial piety, but you also know that your grandmother is used to being in the house now." This is Changlefang. If you live in your Puwang Mansion... If you are not used to it, it will have a great impact on my grandmother's health... "

"Auntie, you are worrying too much. This Tang Dynasty belongs to my Li family, not to mention a Changlefang? My Prince Pu's palace is not small. Since I am afraid that my grandmother will be unwell, it is better to take her over now and let her take care of her according to her own wishes. I remodeled Prince Pu's Mansion according to Changlefang. I believe there must be many things that dissatisfy my grandmother. By the way, all the palace maids and eunuchs here will also follow. "

At the end of his speech, Li Hong slowly stepped up the steps step by step and stood next to Mrs. Rong Guo, with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes reflected a chilling indifference.

"Please, grandma, Hong'er has never been filial to your mother for so many years. Today is a good opportunity. I hope grandma will not refuse. Di Renjie, take Helan Minyue and Helan Minzhi back to Dali Temple to take good care of them. If you accept I felt a little aggrieved, so I asked you! Hua Meng immediately sent an order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, ordering all the maids and eunuchs in Changlefang to follow Mrs. Rongguo to move to Prince Pu's Mansion." Li Hong's face was filled with smiles, but for the smile in his eyes. Han Guang really looks like a well-behaved and smart grandson.

"I have been living in Changlefang for many years. I don't want to move anymore. Thank you Hong'er for your kindness. If Hong'er really cares about me, let Minzhi stay with me." Mrs. Rongguo's face was equally cold. What on earth happened to this little evil star? Already? Have you become so bold all of a sudden

Did Wu Mei say something to him? Or is Li Zhi tired of Wu Shun and his daughter? So the two of them want to take the opportunity to get rid of themselves

"How can that be done? Grandma, if you insist not to go, won't you be violating your grandson's filial piety. You can't always favor He Lan Minzhi." Li Hong looked at the expressionless Mrs. Yang of Rongguo. At this time It makes me smile in my heart.

Fight with me. You are all a bit young together. If you hadn't never understood your mother's intentions and were always afraid of her reproach, your little mistress Helan Minzhi would have been killed long ago.

"Hua Meng, please ask Mrs. Rongguo to go to Prince Pu's Mansion. All expenses will be paid for by the Prince's Mansion." After Li Hong finished speaking, he walked briskly down the steps with a smile on his face, taking Di Renjie with him and the imprisoned Helan Minyue and Helan Minzhi left happily.

In the Qianyuan Hall of Luoyang, the eastern capital, Li Zhi held the zhezi handed over by Yang Wu. This was one of the countless zhezi that came from Chang'an.

He did not blame Li Hong for dismissing Dai Zhide because Li Hong and Dai Zhide had been at odds for many years, and it was only a matter of time before Li Hong dismissed Dai Zhide.

Moreover, as a minister, Dai Zhide really went too far. He never knew how to save face for Li Hong above the court. The two had many arguments. Judging from the final results, most of them were Li Hong's opinions that confirmed the results. , so Dai Zhide's dismissal was not so difficult for Li Zhi to accept.

But what puzzled him was that Li Hong actually appointed a local minister he had never met: Zhang Jianzhi!

And even he rarely heard of this person. He didn't understand why Li Hong chose Zhang Jianzhi to be the Minister of Rites

The envelope in my hand was submitted by the Minister of Civil Affairs. It records some of the officials who had contacts with or met Prince Li Hong, but there was no such person as Zhang Jianzhi.

In his heart, he always believed that the best candidate for Li Hong to choose the Minister of Rites would be Zong Chuke, and then he would promote a new candidate to replace Zong Chuke.

But no matter what he thought, he never expected that it would be the unknown Zhang Jianzhi thousands of miles away!

Li Zhi took Zhang Jianzhi's resume and didn't find anything outstanding about him. Why did Li Hong just fall in love with him

"Is Chang'an City peaceful these days?" Li Zhiyuan was thinking about Chang'an City, and was muttering to himself at this moment. Li Hong, who had not issued any orders for several days, could not help but smile at the corner of his mouth, which did not make the little guy anxious. No.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..." Yang Wu followed respectfully, but hesitated to speak.

"Tell me, I am mentally prepared. If the little brat doesn't do something in Chang'an City, I will feel strange. Tell me, what earth-shattering thing has he done again?"

Li Zhi walked to the palace fence, where a small leisure garden was specially designed according to Li Hong's wishes. He lay down comfortably on the lounge chair. The maid next to him hurriedly put a cotton pad on his back.

Yang Wu was a little nervous and said with his palms a little sweaty: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raided Changlefang. Now Mrs. Korea and Mrs. Rongguo are under house arrest in Prince Pu's Mansion. Mrs. Helan Minyue and Duke Zhou Guogong of Wei are imprisoned in Dali Temple..."

Li Zhi jumped up from the recliner, widened his eyes and asked in shock: "Is he going crazy? What is the little bastard going to do! What has he done?"
