Li Zhi became even more curious. Li Lingyue had never liked Xue Shao. No matter what Xue Shao did, she always disliked her. No matter whether it was right or wrong, when it came to Li Lingyue, everything Xue Shao did was wrong. Why is he still doing it now? Encouraged Xue Shao to join the army
Could it be that because she knew they were trying to match her up with Xue Shao and couldn't resist, she hoped to send Xue Shao to the army and then... get rid of him
Wu Mei rolled her eyes and asked the sky silently. Faced with Li Zhi's speculation, Wu Mei really doubted that if she hadn't been assisting him in the court over the years, His Majesty's position as emperor would have been usurped eight times.
"Li Lingyue has always had a role model in her heart, which is her royal brother Li Hong. So in her mind, she has always hoped to find a husband who is no less good than Li Hong, thinking that only in this way can she be worthy of her. And Xue Shao did not like the military. This was not a mystery among the royal family. He was somewhat talented and well-educated, but he was too docile and mild-tempered. This made Li Lingyue very dissatisfied, so he must have wanted to use Li Hong to "Let Xue Shao join the army and train for a while," Wu Mei murmured as she looked out the window at Li Lingyue's back walking on the palace road.
"Xue Shao? Let him train in the army for a while? With his small arms and legs, I think he is not as good as I was back then. Don't let him use his small arms before he can even pick up a horse in the army. It's broken." Li Zhi instantly noticed Xue Shao's handsome appearance and said a little funny.
Wu Mei didn't bother to pay attention to him and laughed at Xue Shao. The two of them were evenly matched, but they still had the nerve to laugh at others.
"You can't say that. How thin was Li Zhe in the past? He couldn't run even two steps before he was out of breath. Every time he went out, he took a carriage. He couldn't walk a few steps and the servants had to carry him on his back. What about now? Where can he still be like before? What does it look like? Now that he has gone to Anxi to conquer Tocharo, he might be able to cultivate a good husband in Li Lingyue's eyes." Wu Mei frowned as she spoke. I didn't dare to guarantee that the weak Xue Shao would be able to endure hardships when he joined the army.
Now being held by Chengyang like a treasure, especially after knowing clearly that he and His Majesty also intend to betroth Li Lingyue to their family Xue Shao, they are afraid that Xue Shao will be tired, hungry, or damaged somewhere. Influence the marriage with the royal family.
In this way, his poetry talent is enough, but his body bones are getting weaker day by day. When riding a horse for an outing, he has to be helped by a servant to climb into the saddle. He is not even as strong as a woman.
Therefore, Wu Mei had to doubt that His Majesty's words seemed to make some sense, and Li Lingyue's dissatisfaction was also justifiable.
Li Zhi said slowly: "Among the royal family, the only one who has been trained in the military and can be said to be both civilized and military-savvy, apart from the late emperor, is probably Li Hong. Li Zhe has changed a lot now, but... forget it. I'm done here."
The couple were chatting about household matters in the Daming Palace, and someone had already sneaked in over the wall. Three good horses were placed in the yard. When they saw three people climbing over the wall in three directions, they just took a glance. , he continued to snort softly, and paved the ground with his hoof uneasily, symbolically reminding the owner of the house.
"That's it?" Princess Dalai's voice sounded in the room.
The yellowed window paper on the window can be opened silently without Li Hong's fingers being dipped in saliva. In addition, the privacy of the house here is not very good. There is no need to poke a hole in the window paper to peek in like in martial arts novels.
So someone signaled Hua Meng and Cheetah to stare inside, while he himself ran under the south wall, put his hands into his sleeves, squatted under the corner and began to squint his eyes in the sun.
"This is all. If His Majesty hadn't ordered us two brothers to build a palace to work with the people. With this opportunity, we wouldn't be able to get this. This is a divine grace." Wu Sansi said A voice sounded, answering the words of Princess Dai Lai who sounded somewhat dissatisfied.
"Then what are these? Is the output large?" Princess Dalai's tone still sounded disappointed, which actually made someone squatting in the corner to bask in the sun very curious. What were they talking about, and how could they talk about output.
"I don't know, the supervision of the three departments of Sinong Temple, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Industry is very important. Otherwise, how could it be so valued by His Highness the Crown Prince." Wu Chengsi's voice also sounded correspondingly. Obviously, the three of them There is a transaction to be made here.
"He didn't notice you when you came, right?" Princess Dalai's voice sounded a little nervous.
I don't know why, but when I mention that person, my heart starts beating violently, and I always feel that something bad is going to happen.
Moreover, that guy ruined his own good deeds every day. He went back and forth to the Tang Dynasty several times, but he never brought back anything useful.
A lot of those Confucian classics, Buddhist scriptures, and even the Taoist Dharma scriptures were brought back by me, but these things are inedible compared to real food. They can be used as spiritual food, but they cannot be eaten. Fight hunger with spirit, this is unrealistic.
"I haven't been discovered. I'm afraid His Royal Highness is still worried about farming the palace with the people and can't take care of us." Wu Sansi said to Princess Dalai with relief.
"Then do you know that he knows about my return?" Princess Dalai was much more cautious than before and asked solemnly again.
"This..." Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi looked at each other. How could they know whether His Highness knew he was going? What's more, they don't have jurisdiction over the Ministry of Rites or Honglu Temple.
"As long as you don't tell the Ministry of Rites or Honglu Temple, there must be no problem. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has heavy court affairs, how can he take care of everything? Let alone such a trivial matter." Wu Chengsi said with relief again.
"I hope so. This is the money given to you. Because there are too few things, the price cannot be the original price, can you?" Princess Dalai was obviously very satisfied with these so-called new species in front of her, and motioned to the people next to her. The person gave the money and said.
After Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi actually held the banknotes in their hands, what Princess Dalai said next was already irrelevant to them.
After counting the banknotes in their hands, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, looking very relaxed. They said with a smile: "Although it is a little less, we understand, but we risked going to jail to get it for you." Yes, so it will be 30% more expensive each time, do you agree?”
"Okay, no problem." Princess Dalai was silent for a while and then said: "But next time we need to know exactly the names and yields of these species. We can't just buy some weeds and go back. After all, I heard that When Li Chunfeng returned from his voyage, he dug up the entire tree, including the soil and grass. It is said that he even brought back a lot of fresh water. "
In the end, Princess Dalai couldn't help but feel a little worried. That guy was cunning and deceitful, and he always only took advantage and never suffered any losses. Who knew whether these so-called new species might have been stolen by that guy, and what she bought was just some. Where are the weeds
Li Hong's face outside the door was getting darker and darker. Hua Meng and Cheetah, who were responsible for surveillance, seemed to be able to feel the fierce and calm aura of Li Hong.
I couldn't help but feel worried for Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi. Why should I steal these new species? You know, these things have been achieved intermittently by His Highness for many years before he achieved his goal today.
What's more, His Highness has always been disgusted with the good things of the Tang Dynasty being exiled to the Japanese country. He seems to have an innate sense of boredom towards the Japanese people, just like Baekje and Silla. He hates them from the bottom of his heart.
With a creak, the door was opened by Princess Dalai herself, and then she sent Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi out with smiles on their faces. All three of them had satisfied smiles on their faces.
One was satisfied with the banknotes in his arms, and the other was satisfied with the new species in the room, so when they stopped to chat at the door of the room, they did not notice a person squatting and two people standing on the south wall.
"Okay, farewell. In order not to be suspected by others, please stay." Wu Sansi saluted and said relaxedly.
"Are you afraid of being suspected?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded from the south corner.
"Ah?" Princess Dalai, Wu Sansi, and Wu Chengsi followed the sound. The three of them suddenly felt as if they had seen a ghost. They stood there with shocked expressions and screamed in unison.
I saw Hua Meng and Cheetah standing by the south wall of the courtyard, and not far in front of them, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Tang Dynasty, like an old man from Chang'an, had his hands in his sleeves , squatting in the corner, looking at them with narrowed eyes.
"You... you... why are you here?" Princess Dalai asked in horror.
Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were already so frightened that they spoke. Their faces were ashen, and their legs began to tremble as they looked at His Highness the Crown Prince squatting in the corner.
The moment Li Hong stood up, their legs weakened at the same time, and they sat down on the cold ground in an unsightly manner.
"Let the Punishment Department come and get the person. Forget it, just let... Zongzheng Temple come and get the person. All the people and the stolen goods have been obtained, and the Punishment Department has no need to investigate." Li Hong said to behind him easily, and then kept his hands in his sleeves. , walked up to the three of them.
"Take out the things in the room and let me see what has been stolen? And you two, please take out the banknotes. Stop the ink stains. I heard it clearly outside and didn't miss a word. "Li Hong's hands were still tucked into his sleeves as if he was afraid of the cold.
As the cold wind blew, someone shrank his neck, folded his hands with his sleeves, kicked Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, who were lying softly on the ground, and signaled them to take out the banknotes.
Then he walked straight to Princess Dalai. Looking at Princess Dalai who was getting more and more beautiful, the two looked at each other.
Princess Dalai's face was filled with disappointment and unwillingness, while someone else's face still looked relaxed and indifferent.
