The matter that His Majesty is going to Luoyang, the eastern capital, began to spread in less than a few days, and it suddenly caused an uproar among the hundred officials, His Majesty left Chang'an and went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, what kind of thing is this, if there is any danger on the way, something happens, then they will not all have to suffer, they can't allow this kind of thing to happen.

And as for who and where did this news come from, is it true? In the eyes of the hundred officials, whether it is true or false? If you go to the palace and ask, you will know, so many officials, the prime minister, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, all the officials who entered the stream went, and the rest were irrelevant officials to deal with things.

In the palace, a group of officials knelt on the ground, their expressions were extremely sincere, their eyes were firm, and their determination could not be changed, and they forced His Majesty to change his mind and not go to Luoyang. Moreover, Luoyang and Chang'an are far away, and with their itinerary, it will take three or four days.

In this way, the cost of it, the security situation, and the disturbance of the people, all of these are big things, not just words.

"Your Majesty, think twice."

"Your Majesty thinks twice."

"Your Majesty thinks twice."

Coincidentally, they fell down one after another, knelt on the ground, and didn't get up if they didn't agree, this trick has been used many times, and almost all of them have succeeded, these officials are generally this trick, and they don't need other tricks, no, Li Zhi is in trouble, rubbing his temples, seeing the hundred officials below, I feel very annoyed, I just want to go to Luoyang to cultivate my body, this can't work?

I don't spend a lot, and I don't need you to come with me, I'm just going to play with the queen, which is not okay? I'm the emperor, the noblest man in the world, can't I even do this thing? Am I still an emperor?

Besides, you persecute us like this every time, aren't you tired? I used it to kneel down, and I knelt down together, did I offend you? Li Zhi didn't understand, he just wanted to go to Luoyang, you reacted so much?

"You guys get up first, I just want to go to Luoyang, do you need to die or live?" Li Zhi is depressed, can't he let me go happily?

"Your Majesty, Luoyang is a few days away from Chang'an, and according to Your Majesty's itinerary, it will take seven or eight days, that is to say, Your Majesty will go to Luoyang, and the cost of Zhang Luo alone is not a small amount, not counting some local greeting costs, etc., that is to say, Your Majesty will spend at least 100,000 taels to go to Luoyang."

"Your Majesty, this is using the people's money for your entertainment, think twice, Your Majesty."

Master Pei Yan Pei was the first person to come out to protest, carefully calculated the number, and told Li Zhi with clear data that he could not spend a lot of people's fat and ointment because of his whim, and the other officials nodded that this number was really terrible.

Li Zhi was frightened by this data, and quietly asked: "Hubu Shangshu, you came to tell me, what Master Pei said is true?" ”

The appearance of an old man; The old man walked out of it, trembling his body and said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Pei said is very true, Your Majesty will go to Luoyang, during which you will pass through many counties and cities, and the local officials will definitely take a lot of trouble to welcome Your Majesty's arrival, what Lord Pei has calculated is only a small amount, if you really calculate it, Your Majesty will need to spend at least 200,000 taels of silver to go to Luoyang, not counting the silver spent in Luoyang, Your Majesty, think twice." ”

The number is not afraid of long memorization, a startle, Li Zhi thought that it would not cost a lot of money, but when they said this, he retreated, but he had already promised Wu Meiniang, and he couldn't stop there.

"Then what if I don't need to be greeted by officials, and I just want to go to Luoyang? During this period, there is no need to alarm the local government and the people, how much money does it need to spend? Hubu Shangshu, you give me a number. "Li Zhi can't stop there, he can't see Mei Niang's disappointed eyes, right?

Hubu Shangshu looked at the hundred officials behind him, and the hundred officials also looked at each other, and sighed in his heart, knowing that His Majesty was determined to go to Luoyang, otherwise it would not be like this, and he would rather give up Yang Wei's good time than give up this idea, although he doesn't know why His Majesty is like this, as a courtier, he can only do things according to His Majesty's words.

Hubu Shangshu quickly calculated, and finally had the result, and reported: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister has already calculated, if you go out of those, the silver cost is only 100,000 taels, but this is not a small amount, the border is fighting, the grain and grass needed have overwhelmed me, if some natural and man-made disasters occur, there is no silver in the treasury." ”

"Your Majesty, is it really impossible not to go?"

It's going to be on the hard head, you can't do this kind of thing in such a turbulent time, without Your Majesty's Chang'an, something big will happen, Li Zhi said happily after listening to it: "One hundred thousand taels, right, this money doesn't need to be paid by the treasury, I have figured it out myself, so it's okay, right?" ”

The money was solved, but there was still one thing left, Yan Liben continued: "Then I don't know who should be in charge of Chang'an after Your Majesty and Niangniang went to Luoyang?" ”

The words are very simple, that is, you are all gone, what should Chang'an do? You can't leave our courtiers here, can you? Wouldn't it be worse if something happened?

Li Zhi saw that the hundred officials no longer dissuaded him from going to Luoyang, and his mood was naturally much happier, and he said lightly: "All matters in Chang'an, I will hand over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to supervise, so you don't need to worry, but you have to assist the prince well." ”

"The old minister obeys."

"Yes."

In a few words, the officials were persuaded, and Li Zhi was naturally happy to disperse, but some people were happy, but some people were unhappy.

…………

The Prince's Mansion, Liu Renliang and the others anxiously waited for the prince's answer, and after knowing the news, they hurried here to discuss some things, after all, this was their opportunity, and they had been waiting for a long time, and it finally came.

The crown prince Li Hong kept banging on the table, shaking the water in the cup, and there was a faint dizziness, Li Hong's eyes swept over everyone, and he could guess their hearts from their happy looks, and said: "Don't you wait to be happy too early, the matter has just begun, my father is just temporarily letting me supervise the hundred officials, in case things don't do well, or if something happens, I'll be in big trouble." ”

"Your Highness, please rest assured, although we are not talented, we are not stupid, we still know this situation, but why did Your Majesty go to Luoyang? If you don't go to so many places, you want to go to Luoyang? ”

"Yes, Your Highness, this is really suspicious, could it be?"

When this adult said this, he was glared at by Li Hong, and he was stunned, and he didn't dare to continue, the adults around him didn't continue this topic, His Royal Highness the Prince's character, they all knew it, he didn't let him say it, then don't talk about this, let's get back to business.

"Your Highness, this is a good opportunity, we must make some achievements to make Your Highness believe that Your Highness has this ability, so that Your Highness will have a great effect on ascending to that position in the future." Liu Renliang carefully analyzed, he will not only see the immediate benefits, but also see more interests, and he can't be blinded by the small profits in front of him.

"What Lord Liu said is very true, we can't be careless, we must be careful, we can't be blinded by the opportunities in front of you, you don't have the ability, even if there are more opportunities in front of you, you can't succeed, what this prince wants to say to you is that you must not do anything to betray this prince, otherwise this prince will not be soft."

Li Hong warned a few people, with sharp eyes, a few people didn't dare to make a loud noise, Lord Liu nodded with satisfaction in his heart, everything should be there, just the last step, just need to play well this time, do what you should do, Your Majesty is satisfied, and Your Highness can naturally ascend to the throne.

"It won't be long before Your Majesty will ......."

What Liu Renliang thinks in his heart, he knows it himself, and he won't say it directly, and he believes that he is not the only one who thinks so, presumably they all have this idea.

Several adults tacitly knew that His Majesty went to Luoyang in such a hurry, presumably because of his health, and he had to go, otherwise who would go for no reason?

"Your Highness, please rest assured, we will pay attention to it later."

…………

"Are you all sure? Are you really going to Luoyang? ”

Gongsun Yun said with a smile: "Back to Your Highness, it's true, it's confirmed today, Your Majesty will go to Luoyang in a few days, and all matters in Chang'an will be supervised by Prince Li Hong." ”

"Well, I know, you have worked hard, do you have any other news?" Li Zhou nodded, but his heart was full of bitterness, are you going to make a move? I thought you could endure it all the time? As I expected, you did it anyway.

"Back to Your Highness, there is nothing to do here in Chang'an, but on the Luoyang side, Xie Daoling has already sent the news back, their arrangements in Luoyang have been prepared, the tea has also been listed, everything is ready over there, waiting for Your Highness's order."

Dugu Lang did not forget to report this matter, and proudly provoked his eldest brother, Gongsun Yun rolled his eyes, ignored him, and laughed happily like a victorious Dugu Lang, Li Zhou was speechless to the two brothers, and directly ordered: "You are also ready, there will be people from Luoyang soon, you can arrange it for them, as for the bounty, you go to Ke'er to receive it." ”

"Your Highness."

The two happily retreated and set off towards Ke'er, Li Zhou had a gloomy face, looked into the distance, and muttered to himself: "You still did it?" ”
