Everyone in the court was silent for a long time, even Li Zhi was lost in thought.
Although Li Hong's long speech was not as recited by an old scholar from the Imperial College, such a vernacular and easy-to-understand truth made everyone fall into deep thoughts.
In fact, at this time, some people already felt that the power of the actual prime minister, "Tong Zhongshu's family is in peace", suddenly became a bit hot and hard to touch, and it was not as attractive as before.
Li Hong glanced at the ministers. In fact, he also knew that the most important thing is how thought-provoking a long story can be. I'm afraid that some people are reflecting and thinking now, but not two days after the next court, they are still going their own way.
In the end, it was Li Zhi who interrupted everyone's contemplation: "In view of the remarks of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, regarding the envoys of various countries and the education of Japanese students, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and the Imperial College will carefully consider it after going to court. Reconsideration."
Dai Zhide surprisingly did not object, but nodded cautiously. If it was true as the prince said, then he would have to study it carefully.
But in their repeated thinking, everyone forgot one thing, that is, they originally came to the Ministry of Accounts to ask for money, but why did they keep asking for money, and instead of asking for money, they found something to do for themselves first? .
During the next court discussion, Li Hong was no longer under pressure. He listened to the various discussions among the ministers, Zhongshu, Menxia, and Shangshu. In short, in the discussions among the big bosses, the Minister of Hubu could not get involved. When talking.
As for the clean-up of river silt proposed by the Ministry of Industry, Li Hong made a big move on the spot and allocated a large amount of money to the Ministry of Industry to clear the silt. After all, the canal leading to Luoyang cannot go wrong. If there is a natural or man-made disaster in the Guanzhong area, we will still have to rely on food from the south for relief.
Moreover, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was also very generous, not only giving money, but also returning people. This time Sun Renshuai and Liu Ren were willing to return to the court, so naturally there were still many prisoners. Of course, Li Hong with a stroke of his pen, all of them were allocated to the work. Ministry, no wages, only three meals a day.
The Ministry of Industry Minister was so happy that his mouth almost reached the back of his neck, and he looked at Dai Zhide's old face with joy from time to time, forming a sharp contrast.
After the court meeting came to an end, everyone began to talk around Li Hong. From time to time, they touched Li Hong's court clothes today and made sighing sounds.
As for Li Zhi, who was watching this scene, his headache was slightly better after the emergency treatment by the imperial doctor. In addition, the atmosphere in the court was relaxed at the moment. Li Zhi suddenly felt much more relaxed and his vision became much clearer. .
But when he saw Li Hong's court uniform through the gap between the courtiers, he was so angry that his eyes darkened and his forehead fell down!
After sitting firmly again, Li Zhi began to look at everyone with a sneer, especially the little brat in the middle. He had tolerated him for a long time.
Wu Mei once warned him: "Be careful with that little bastard. Don't think that apart from being late, he will come to court for you honestly. Although I don't know what mischief he will do, I can guarantee that in the first few days, he will come to court for you." The little bastard's palace maids were sneaking around, which must be a sign of the little bastard becoming a monster. '
I didn't take it seriously at first, but I didn't expect that the little bastard really couldn't stand it. Not even a few days after Wu Mei's warning, the little bastard started acting like a monster.
After Yang Wu screamed with a ram's throat, all the courtiers saluted and began to retreat. As Li Zhi left Li Hong behind, every official who passed by Li Hong touched the court clothes on Li Hong from time to time, especially On the chest... a shiny golden name tag!
On the nameplate made of gold, the words are divided into three lines, and it reads clearly: Tang Dynasty - Minister of the Ministry of Finance - Li Hong.
After everyone left, Li Hong realized that something was wrong, especially looking at his father's sneering expression. Without knowing why, Li Hong felt that his butt seemed to be unsalvageable.
So he smiled and said: "Father... Hehe... Are you feeling better? I just wanted to tell you something. Yesterday, I heard that Sun Simiao, the miracle doctor, had returned from Qinling to collect medicine and had returned to Taiyi Mountain, so... So, I would like to ask my father to allow me to go to Taiyi City to find Doctor Sun and get a prescription for you..."
Li Zhi ignored him and said to Yang Wu: "Yang Wu, if he runs out of my sight, I will blame you! Keep an eye on him!"
After finishing speaking, Li Zhi went back to change clothes without looking back, leaving behind Li Hong with a dry smile and Yang Wu staring at him.
"Yang Wu, let me go. I can reveal the test papers for your exam in two days to you in advance." Li Hong felt guilty, and he naturally knew why.
He had nothing to do, so he asked Xia Zhi and the others to make him a purple third-grade court dress. On the basis of the original one, he also added a name tag of the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Tang Dynasty.
My father must be dissatisfied because of this. Needless to say, I'm afraid that when he comes out soon, he will definitely have to go to see his mother. When the time comes for the couple to work together to deal with him, his butt will be... In short, when the time comes, I'm afraid I'll have to be taken back to the East Palace again.
Yang Wu was not moved by Li Hong's tempting conditions: "Your Highness, please spare this slave. Your Majesty asked this slave to look at you. I dare not disobey you. The test paper you mentioned, although I got zero points in the last test , but he doesn’t even have a zero iron score, so I still have some dignity.”
"Old guy, you really want to see me get beaten, don't you? Okay, just wait for me and see how I deal with you when we get back to Chongwen Hall!" Li Hong said without hesitation and began to curse like a common man.
Then, on the way from Tai Chi Hall to the Harem, a very interesting situation occurred.
A small figure holds a skateboard in his hand, and wears a decent-looking butan, which is much smaller than other courtiers, on the back of his neck. He is wearing a purple court uniform. Although the model is much smaller, it is the same as the purple for officials of the third rank and above of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the court uniforms, they are exactly the same. Even the futou on the head is two sizes smaller.
Li Zhi followed behind, kicking and rubbing Li Hong, who was unwilling to go to the harem, and holding the Wuban behind Li Hong's neck in his hand, beating the Crown Prince at any time as he took two steps and paused for three breaths.
Followed closely by Yang Wu, following behind Li Zhi, watching the scene in front of him with interest. Behind him was Hua Meng, and behind Hua Meng was Xia Zhi. The five of them formed a long queue, walking in and out of the Tai Chi Palace like ants moving.
"How come you are still scared? Who gave you the idea, and you are still wearing a third-grade court uniform? Are you tired of serving the prince? Also, who gave you the idea about your card? Why don't you wear my court uniform? What's wrong with me? Do you think my court is your Chongwen Hall? I'm just not telling you that you're late every day. Why don't you go to heaven to show off your face? "!" Li Zhi kicked him and said, "Don't ask any questions."
"The turban is easier to handle than the crown. The last time you and the queen took pictures of the crown, it was swaying. It damaged the reputation of the prince and the news spread..."
"Do you still care about reputation? If you care about reputation, why can't the crown be made stronger? Does your scalp hurt?" Li Zhi kicked him again. He knew why the little thing didn't dare to go to his mother.
Because a few days ago, Wu Mei happily took that makeup mirror and painted her eyebrows and eyes happily for a long time. The maid on the side revealed the secret: "Queen, why do you think this looks like it has been used? "
After Li Hong learned the news, he was stunned and didn't go there even once during this period. If the queen mother knew that he was deliberately trying to fool him, it would be hard to save his butt today! Therefore, he didn't want to get into trouble with his mother now, and he would either die or be disabled.
"As a prince, I always take the reputation of the prince very seriously. Father, you cannot slander me..."
"Have I still wronged you? You care about the reputation of the prince, so why do you never tie your hair? You care about the reputation of the prince. When you tricked Yan Liben, why didn't you think of your reputation? Don't think that I don't know that in the court today , who approved both money and people for Yan Liben, said, what was the stake for the Daming Palace that you two were building that day? "
In the court, Li Zhi felt strange at first. When he saw Yan Liben almost crying after Li Hong opened the door for him, he should be happy about this, but why did he look like he was in mourning? Similar.
I saw Yan Liben with a mournful face, carefully and reluctantly taking out a small package wrapped in silk from his arms, as if cutting flesh, and handed it to Li Hong as if it was tighter than life.
Li Hong was naturally smiling, and he might have forgotten who his father was at that time!
"Father, you have wronged me. Today I only had a simple academic discussion with Yan Liben, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Moreover, what he gave me is just a book that you are not interested in. You don't need to make a fuss. La." Li Hong said pitifully after being kicked on the butt again.
"Little bastard, do you really think your father is easy to fool? I just don't care about you on weekdays, and because your mother is strict with you, I am not willing to strictly control you. This is My father’s love for you, don’t be ungrateful.”
"Don't come here, I won't give it." He received a slap on the head and saw that he was getting closer and closer to Wu Mei's palace.
"I'll just take a look."
"No, that's more important than my son's life."
"I won't care about your mother taking care of you in a while. Just ask for your own blessings. Your mother knows that you are honoring her with the makeup mirror you used in Xia Zhi. You are just waiting to be taken care of, little bastard. "
"My son, I was doing it for the sake of Daming Palace."
"I am the Ninth Five Supreme Being. Do I care about a mere post? I will just take a look and will never occupy it. Look, your mother's palace is right in front of you."
"Then let me take a look?"
"I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I have a golden tongue. I will give it back to you after I copy it."
"Okay, I'll give you a look."
"Oh! It's really Huang Tingjing. I brought that Lian Tie to the queen, you can take it away. Yang Wu, go back to Liang Yi Palace." Li Zhi touched his nose, lowered his head and walked quickly towards the direction of Ganlu Palace.
"...Father, you are lying..." Li Hong's miserable howl came from the entrance of Wu Mei Palace, where he and Li Zhi planted the small tree.
The boat of father-son family relationship capsized just as quickly as it was said to be overturned.
