From the second day of the Yuan Dynasty meeting, envoys from various countries began to act among the officials of the Tang Dynasty for the benefit of each other. Each envoy was negotiating with the officials of the Tang Dynasty that they had contact with. , hoping that through them, we can give them more benefits on such a festive day in Datang.
Therefore, on the fourth day after the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, when the officials of the third rank and above did not understand what was going on, when they were still struggling in their hearts about which country's envoys to attend the banquet today, they were surprised by the East Palace. The edict was summoned to the Xuanzheng Hall.
As for Li Zhi and Wu Mei, although they knew that Li Hong's scolding was not about them, of course, the little bastard did not dare to scold them.
But when listening to Li Hong reprimanding all the third-rank officials of the Tang Dynasty who he thought had their elbows turned outward, Li Zhi's face began to twitch involuntarily.
Little bastard, this refers to Sang scolding Huai. Before Yuan Day, any envoy from various countries could come to the palace to see him. After Yuan Day, he began to put eye drops on himself, began to accuse himself overtly and covertly, and began to screen. The envoy has entered the palace.
But having said that, this can't be blamed on Li Hong. After all, he has been so praised every day in the past few days that he ignored Wu Mei's obstruction and promised a lot of benefits to some envoys without any scruples. , it's no wonder that Li Hong summoned all the officials of third grade and above to the Xuanzheng Hall in just four days of the first day.
Wu Mei, who returned to the Penglai Palace, shook her head and sighed, and patted the prince Li who was holding a boiled hot egg in the palace maid's hand and was carefully rolling it over his right eye. Li Hong's shoulder, he said relaxedly: "Okay, Li Hong, you are now more capable. You dare to summon even your father and mother to the Xuanzheng Palace, and let the two of us follow the group of officials to accept your request." Reprimand, you are awesome!"
"Mother, you... From what you said, I asked you to come here because I want to use your authority to suppress those disobedient third-rank officials. You also know that I am just a prince, and those high-ranking officials may not necessarily I heard you, Chen, with you and my father here, I feel more confident and at ease," Li Hong said while pouting at the breasts of the palace maid who was helping him apply his eyes. Rubbing back and forth.
Li Zhi slapped the head angrily, which caused someone to bump his face directly into the plump breasts of the Renjia Palace Maid, causing the Renjia Palace Maid to blush with embarrassment, feeling her breasts being touched by His Highness the Crown Prince's face. It was squeezed hard and deformed, but it didn't dare to move.
Wu Mei looked at Li Hong, who took advantage of her personal maid, and took a deep breath, speechless and helpless: "I usually act so lustful, how come I haven't taken down the gluttonous princess Ye Yue until now?" ? You are capable of treating your own people, right? Since you are the prince, you will take advantage of my maid, right?" At the end of the sentence, Wu Mei was so angry that she wanted to find the feather duster again.
"You dare to reprimand me now. If you are allowed to ascend the throne, you will not be able to overthrow you? Even if I did something wrong, as the prince, in my Xuanzheng Palace, in front of all the ministers, Don't let me come to Taiwan..." Li Zhi stood on the other side dissatisfied. The anger he had just felt in the Xuanzheng Hall has not disappeared at all, so now he can only continue to vent his anger on this unfilial son.
"Stop, it's useless. I won't give it if I don't give it. Goguryeo and Silla are begging to see you through Zhang Lushui and Jin Rong, just to get my idea of Datang technology. Their purpose is very clear. They know that I will not agree. So I thought of making you happy and opening a breakthrough from you. You can't be used by them." Li Hong held the maid's waist, reluctantly lifted his face from her chest, and then motioned to the maid to change. Come over with the hard boiled eggs.
On Yuan Day, I remember that I was discussing cooperation with Saleh, but I don’t know why. Then the two of them started fighting, and then everyone who attended the Yuan Day meeting in the court was stunned. .
His right eye was finally punched by Saleh, but Saleh seemed to have knocked out another tooth. His eyes and nose were the same as last time. This time, he still did not escape the bad luck of being repaired by his fist.
And I heard from Ye Yue that she also beat Sultan by the way, saying that Sultan was almost crying at that time, so frightened that he hid under the table, and just like that he beat him till he was knocked down.
Li Hong covered his head with a headache, but he had no memory at all of the fight with Saleh and Sultan at the court meeting yesterday.
When Li Hong rubbed his head and asked Ye Yue what he had done in the end, a strange expression appeared on Ye Yue's face.
In short, according to Yeyue's description, he knocked Saleh and Sultan unconscious that day, and then he also fainted.
But Li Hong never believed this answer, because every time his father and mother's eunuchs, Hua Ji and Wang Lou saw him in the past few days, they felt as guilty as a thief.
The evasive eyes and the lewd expression made Li Hong have to wonder if he was knocked unconscious by these two guys that day? !
"What are you thinking about again?" Wu Mei tapped her finger on Li Hong's dazed head and said.
Li Hong avoided the hand of the palace lady in front of him who put an egg in his right eye, looked up at the ceiling, and said thoughtfully: "It is said that on Yuan Day, I caused such a big disaster that all of us in the Tang Dynasty followed me. My father's drunken behavior was embarrassing, but... for the first time, you and my father chose not to argue with me? Was there something else that happened that day?"
"You still want to know what happened that day, don't you think you are not embarrassed enough? The face of the Tang Dynasty, the face of me and your mother, as well as the face of the entire royal family and ministers were all disgraced by your drunken behavior that day. ! If you don’t reflect in the East Palace today, you still have the nerve to summon the ministers to the Xuanzheng Hall to reprimand you. Don’t you think your drunken behavior that day was not shameful enough?” Li Zhi put down his hand and said, “Li Hongyuan lost his temper after drinking.” Memorial, he said coldly.
"The problem is that I have no memory of that day at all. I still remember that Saleh and I seemed to be sober, but then again, shameful things... Hey, you just get used to it anyway, ouch..." Li Hong was hit on the back of the head by Wu Mei again because of dodging, and he crashed into the palace maid's chest.
"Then do you remember that you forced Prince Dajin to apologize to Li Zhe? By the way, when did you secretly release Li Zhe?" Wu Mei, who had been standing next to Li Hong, looking at the palace maid applying eye makeup to Li Hong, was confused. asked.
Li Hong raised his head, looked at Wu Mei's confused expression, and actually smiled like a fool, and said shamelessly: "Hehehe, I don't remember."
His sudden and shameless behavior only aroused the eyes of his dragon mother and the inner disdain of his dragon father.
"Is there really no room for discussion on this matter?" Li Zhi frowned again. The memorials from Goguryeo and Silla gave him a headache, but he still cried and begged to give them some technology from Taiyi City or Xinluo. species.
"Father, what I just said in the Xuanzheng Palace is very clear. Unless you want me to be the leader of the Li family...otherwise, there is nothing you can do." Li Hong spread his hands and once again placed his support on the maid's slender waist.
"Try a little harder." Wu Mei said as the palace maid held the egg and pressed it hard on Li Hong's eyes.
"It hurts." Li Hong just breathed in and asked for a detour. Saleh was so cruel that he hit his eye sockets to this day.
"It's okay if you know it hurts. Since you don't want to give in on this matter, then it's okay for people to bring back some other items. It's not the things Li Chunfeng brought back from overseas, and it's not from your Taiyi City. That's okay, right?" She moved slowly and finally sat down on the sofa nearby. Seeing that Li Hong's eyes were fine, she no longer worried.
"Of course there is no problem. It's just that Ge Xiyuan and Shi Zang can handle this matter. You and my father don't need to worry about this kind of thing in the future. As I said in the Xuanzheng Hall today, our country, the Tang Dynasty, is now rich and powerful. , with strong soldiers and horses, even if they treat Silla like a dog, they will just grovel and be submissive. But when one day they become strong, our Tang Dynasty..."
"That's because you are so mean to others today, so they will treat others the same way you treat them." Li Zhi put down a memorial again. He felt that the memorial in the palace was worse than the one in the East Palace. There are so many. Did you also throw the memorial from the East Palace to you? Why are there so many memorials that I can’t finish
"Then the Imperial Grandfather..."
"Besides taking this incident as an exception, do you have any other strong examples?" Li Zhi raised his head angrily and looked at Li Hong, who was still asking the palace maid to apply his eyes.
"Yes, the previous dynasty. The previous dynasty spent so much money to show off its wealth in order for all the nations to come to congratulate them. What happened in the end? How many years after the founding of the country, the people were filled with dissatisfaction? Finally, it was destroyed. At that time, was there anyone who could get the former? Is it obvious that the nomads or small countries that are interested in the past should help the previous dynasty? So, when the Tang Dynasty interacts with any country, we must first look at interests, politics... There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests, as long as I, Li Hong, will do my best to benefit the Tang Dynasty!" Li Hong opened his one eye and winked at the palace maid.
Because the maid in front of him was none other than Shangguan Wan'er, who was wanted from Shangguan Yi's home by his mother.
"If anyone is willing to help the former dynasty, you, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, may not have such a majestic moment now. But since you said that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, I agree with this, Queen Mother, but you and Did Ye Yue's relationship play a role in the Dashi cooperation?" Wu Mei looked at Shangguan Wan'er and continued to help Li Hong apply his eyes in embarrassment.
But he couldn't stand the two of them flirting in front of him, so he tugged on Shangguan Wan'er's sleeve and told her to go down and play with Li Lingyue first.
