Yang Wu and the maids next to him were so frightened that they immediately bowed to apologize. They carefully bent over and watched Li Zhi kick a small potted plant to the ground.
"I dismissed Dai Zhide, but I ignored him. I refused to send troops to Liaodong, but I also complied with his wishes! Why do we still put the Korean lady under house arrest and imprison Helan Minyue! What is going on? Have you asked clearly?" Li Zhi asked angrily There was another book in Yang Wu's hand. He quickly read it with trembling hands, and threw the book into Yang Wu's face with a snort.
God help Li Hong! Li Zhi sighed helplessly in his heart.
I originally thought that the floods in Guanzhong, especially the floods in Chang'an City and the natural disasters in the Yunzhong Protectorate, would test Li Hong's ability to handle the government affairs of the Tang Dynasty.
As expected, the floods in Chang'an City and the natural disasters in the Yunzhong Protectorate were handled perfectly with ease and joy. The Queen was very satisfied with Li Hong's and the Household Department's various responses.
But unexpectedly, it was this heavy rain that washed away the issue of illegally minting new money in Changlefang. It not only tested Li Hong's ability to handle government affairs, but also allowed him to uncover the issue of illegally minting new money.
Needless to say, the template for this new money was given to Wu Shun and Helan Minyue privately by Li Zhi.
As for the reason, it goes without saying. The little bastard couldn't bear to see Wu Shun and his daughter sneaking around for many years. Basically, all the royal family members in Chang'an City were taken care of by his Taiyi City.
But the Korean ladies Wu Shun and Helan Minyue could not get any benefits at all. They complained in front of themselves every day that the family could not make ends meet, so they took the opportunity of exchanging new money to get some pocket money for their mother and daughter. Unexpectedly, Caught by the little brat.
Li Zhi, who had lost the momentum of asking for help just now, looked at the palace maid at his feet cleaning up the potted plants, and asked: "Does the queen know about this?"
"This... I don't know, this slave." Yang Wu bowed and said softly.
"Go to the Queen." Li Zhi turned around and walked back, while Yang Wu hurriedly followed behind.
"Then Jingzhe and Cheetah went to Anxi. Do you have any information here?" Li Zhi asked as he walked.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have received information that Tubo has been having good harvests in the past few years, and after occupying Tuyuhun, they privately began to graze cattle in areas with fertile water and grass. According to Yi Nu, Tubo does seem to be making big moves. I'm afraid this goal is still there. It’s just like the intelligence analysis presented..."
"Intelligence analysis shows that this thing is still credible. I don't know how this little brat tinkered with it. Then tell me, where will Tibet send troops in Anxi?" Li Zhi walked on the bluestone road of the palace, looking at asked the Hebi Palace in front.
"Jingzhe and Cheetah have always had two pieces of information, one for you and one for His Majesty the Crown Prince. The two pieces of information are exactly the same. This is something that slaves occasionally ask for to exchange and prove. The authenticity of the information does not matter. Doubtful. Judging from the analysis they gave, it will be Khotan Town.”
"Why?"
"Because people from various tribes there are relatively mixed. Although the Qiang people have always been the main residents, there are still Western Turks, Shiguo, Tuqi Shi people, etc., so Tubo will find it easy to become the mouth of Tubo, but as for Khotan, It is still impossible to guess which state under our jurisdiction will attack."
While the two were discussing in the long passage of the Imperial Palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital, Wu Mei also read the secret letter Lian Tie had just given him.
After closing the secret letter and holding it in his hand, he patted it gently. The little bastard finally came to his senses. At first, he thought he only had that little bit of cleverness. Unexpectedly, now he has seen through the situation and understands his mother's difficulties.
"Burn it." Wu Mei said calmly as she handed the secret letter to Lian Tie again.
She had already seen His Majesty and Yang Wu walking through the long passage.
At this moment, she felt relaxed and satisfied. This good son of his has finally solved his difficult situation in the harem.
She believed that Li Hong must understand her thoughts at this moment and understand that her situation is difficult.
But she has never been able to understand why this little brat who has been fearless of heaven and earth since he was a child. Li Hong, who has always done things cleanly and swiftly and is famous for his lightning-fast methods, would treat Wu Shun and his mother, Mrs. Han, so badly. , has always been indecisive.
There was such a good opportunity to attack Wu Shun and his daughter, including his own mother, so why did he delay it until now
Wu Mei believed that Li Hong had the opportunity and the intention to get rid of Helan Minzhi four years ago, but in the end the little guy gave up.
She couldn't understand what the little thing was worried about? If Helan Minzhi had been removed at that time, he would have suffered less in the past few years and suffered less from the ambiguity between his mother and Helan Minzhi.
But no matter what, it's not too late now. As long as the little brat is given a few more days, Wu Shun, Helan Minyue, and Helan Minzhi will all disappear from this world, right
Now it's time to cooperate with the little brat. No matter what, I have to help the little brat get this done. No matter what, I have to delay His Majesty's return to Chang'an a few days later to buy the little brat some time.
Li Zhi nodded silently. The steps made of white marble made people feel relaxed and happy. He took the information in Yang Wu's hand about the house arrest of Mrs. Yang of Rongguo and Mrs. Korea, and the imprisonment of Helan Minyue and his sister in Dali Temple. He greeted her at the door. Wu Mei slowly walked into the palace beside him.
"See for yourself, the little guy is going to destroy Chang'an City now! He just dismissed my ministers, rejected Goryeo's request for reinforcements to Liaodong, and capriciously agreed to send the Japanese envoy to Tang Dynasty! What is this? ? How can there be such a joke in the court? It was him who refused to send envoys from the Japanese state to the Tang Dynasty even if he wanted to fight with Dai Zhide in the court. Now, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he resumed his duties. , The prince of the Tang Dynasty, doing things so repeatedly, how unbecoming, will it make other countries laugh at me, the Tang Dynasty, for going back on my promise!" Li Zhi said with a loud voice and a small voice, picking the useless ones first.
Wu Mei took the teacup handed over by the palace maid, put it in Li Zhi's hand personally, and said with a soft smile: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The prince overseeing the country is not really governing the country. This is not the first time that he has gone back on his word. In the past few days, he has gone back on his word." Don’t you often do mindless things?”
"He is the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and will be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future. If he goes back on his promise like this, wouldn't it make the world laugh? Where should I put the prince's face? Where is the royal family's face? Where is my face? Being an emperor has always been It’s a golden word! Now it’s impossible to change things three times a day! Oh, by the way, there’s another trick. Look, the little bastard has gone crazy again. This time, you, the Queen, need to be disciplined.” In the end, Li Zhi's expression seemed to be the same as Li Hong's when he was flattering. It was carved out of the same mold.
"Oh? What earth-shattering event is he doing again? It's not like those few squares in the east were really razed to the ground by him and he wanted to build some shopping mall or something like that?" Wu Mei took the folder with a curious expression and opened it. guessed.
"If that's the case, that's fine. You can see it for yourself. I'm afraid you'll want to pluck one of the little rabbit's ears off after reading it."
"Is this house arrest? Why do I think Hong'er took it specially to honor his grandmother..."
"Filial piety? Does filial piety bring people's filial piety to Dali Temple?" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, watching Wu Mei flipping through the fold of the house arrest, and reached out to flip up the other fold under the fold.
"This..." As expected, a few black lines appeared on Wu Meiruyu's forehead!
"What on earth is going on? What's going on here? He Lan Minzhi and Min Yue have always disliked him, but why did he imprison them in Dali Temple! It's so outrageous, Yang Wu, do you know what's going on?" Wu Mei With a cold expression, Zhezi slapped the table and asked.
Yang Wu glanced at Li Zhi and saw that Li Zhi was indifferent, so he waited for him to explain. He thought about it and said, "Back to the queen, the book didn't say..."
"Nonsense, don't I know what's going on that wasn't mentioned in the brochure? I've already said it, but I still need to ask you?" Wu Mei was furious and interrupted Yang Wu's words to scold her.
"Yes, I know my mistake. Specifically...specifically why..."
Yang Wu's head was sweating a little. This job was not easy to accept. If it was because of privately minting new money, it would definitely cause the queen to question where the new money template came from.
In this case, wouldn't it still put the responsibility on His Majesty? But why don’t you say why? In short, it was His Highness who imprisoned Helan Minyue and Helan Minzhi. After returning to Chang'an City, it is estimated that His Highness the Crown Prince can beat him to the ground.
"Back to the Queen, I'm not sure what the specific reason is? But it seems to be because of Helan Minzhi and Helan Minyue..."
"Ahem, let's not talk about the reason. In short, this little brat is so lawless. You can't let him do whatever he wants anymore. Let's do this. I'm going back to the palace tomorrow. What do you think?" Li Zhi looked at Yang Wu and wanted to reveal the truth. , interrupted Yang Wu’s words and said with some embarrassment.
Wu Mei turned her head in confusion, as if she was looking at Li Hong who had made a mistake, and asked strangely: "Your Majesty, do you know something inside? It's impossible for Hong'er to imprison these two for no reason, right?"
"This... is not a big deal." Li Zhi thought for a moment. Making new money privately is a serious crime and a death penalty for the people of the world, but for the relatives of the emperor and the royal clan, it is naturally a different matter.
So he continued: "When I was making new money in Li Hong, I wanted to make a template of the new money. Min Yue just happened to see it and let her play with it for a few days..."
"Then Helan Minyue gave the template to Helan Minzhi, and then Li Hong discovered that they were secretly minting new money, so Li Hong imprisoned them in Dali Temple in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty?" Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi, her beautiful eyes unblinking. asked blinking.
