() When Li Zhongyi was reviewing the chapter, he accidentally found that Zhang San happened to be itching all over his body, and he didn't have a standing face.

Uh-huh, I'm afraid you want to go to the front, right? Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, in his army, only by going to the front line can he be promoted and make a fortune, and no one can be an exception.

Even Li Zhongyi's three princes could not be knighted because they had no military merits, let alone Zhang Sanzheng?

"What, mosquitoes are biting you here?" Waiting for Li Zhongyi to solve the music at hand, he deliberately asked Zhang Sanzheng coldly while holding up the teacup.

Zhang Sanzheng, who was originally very clever, was suddenly stunned by Li Zhongyi's question, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer?

Li Zhongyi saw that he had guessed correctly, and couldn't help laughing: "Miss your little lady?" "Deliberately teasing him.

Zhang Sanzheng had already come back to his senses, knowing that he had just been distracted, so Li Zhongyi could see it.

"Your Majesty, the minister is really itching and wants to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." Now that the bottom is exposed, Zhang Sanzheng doesn't hide it anymore, and simply tells Li Zhongyi all his thoughts.

Li Zhongyi smiled and said: "Go, Li Yong's subordinates are just short of manpower, you take your battalion of people and follow him to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." ”

"Ahh Zhang Sanzheng was overjoyed and hurriedly beat his chest and saluted.

Li Zhongyi snorted coldly, waved his hand, and said, "After this meritorious service, if you come back to serve me, it's time to take care of it, don't think about going to the front line all day long." ”

Zhang Sanzheng was immersed in joy, and completely ignored Li Zhongyi's ridicule, as if he hadn't heard it.

Li Zhongyi is both angry and funny, Zhang Sanzheng is a confidant who has followed him for many years, and loyalty is absolutely no problem. In other words, Li Zhongyi was only afraid that he would take back his life, and then circle it up and sharpen his temperament.

After sending Zhang Sanzheng away, Li Zhongyi got up and walked outside the house, and walked into the back garden with his hands behind his back.

This house was originally the home of the largest salt merchant in Hangzhou, and after Li Jiajun entered the city, it became Li Zhongyi's palace.

In the back garden, the flowers are full of flowers, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and Li Zhongyi's mood is much more uncomfortable.

Just when Li Zhongyi was looking at a peach blossom, he suddenly heard someone nearby whispering.

"Little gluttonous cats, hurry up and eat it, this is the best snack rewarded by Concubine Chen, if I didn't want to keep it for you, I would have eaten it a long time ago."

"Thank you, sister, thank you, this is my favorite snack......"

"Hey...... Have you heard that Concubine Duan Niangniang has been very favored recently, and the emperor rests in her room every once in a while? ”

"No, where is the concubine Niangniang favored by our Concubine Chen?"

"Concubine Chen has a little princess under her knees, and Concubine Duan is the same, they all want to give birth to a little prince......"

"Alas, the little prince is not so easy to say that he was born......"

"Can't stop your mouths from eating? The gossip of the girls, you dare to chew the root of your tongue, beware of being heard, and the end will be miserable. ”

Li Zhongyi pouted, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are right and wrong. Don't look at his strict family rules, he still can't avoid people's private discussions.

"Good sister, aren't we holding back our panic......"

"Anyway, I think Concubine Chen is very kind, and rarely beats and scolds people......"

"Hmph, that's when you didn't see Concubine Chen's heroic posture carrying a knife to the battlefield......"

Li Zhongyi touched his chin and recalled all kinds of past events when Zhu Niang went into battle to kill people with a knife, hehe, I think that at the beginning, there were at least more than 100 lives in the hands of Zhu.

Among Li Zhongyi's women, Fold Saihua and Zhu Niang, Wen Neng can lift the pen, and Wu Neng can pull the bow, all of them are heroines who do not let the eyebrows be saved.

The subordinates are also people, and they also have their fun, and Li Zhongyi doesn't want to scare them. He slowed his breathing as he waved his hand to the swordsman guards hiding nearby and not disturb them.

After about half an hour, the little sisters who had gathered in private dispersed with a smile.

Li Zhongyi turned out from behind the peach tree, looked at the backs of the little girls in the distance, and couldn't help but smile slightly. He was not in the habit of listening to the corners, but he also knew some interesting things from the mouths of the three little girls.

For example, when Han Xianglan wanted to rectify people, she must have been standing still. When the time comes, and you don't expect it, she suddenly makes a move.

For another example, Zhu Niang, when she is angry, don't talk back, otherwise, she will be very unlucky.

The short gossip of parents, if you listen to it every day, will definitely get tired of it. If you listen to it occasionally, it will be a bit of a novelty.

After returning to the inner study from the back garden, Li Zhongyi continued to work at the desk until Zhu Niang's voice sounded in his ears.

"Your Majesty, it's been more than two hours, don't get tired, it's time to rest."

Li Zhongyi put down the pen in his hand, stretched his waist, and looked at Zhu Niang with a smile.

Zhu Niang was a little confused, so she asked Li Zhongyi: "Your Majesty, you look at the concubine like this, is there a flower on the concubine's face?" ”

Li Zhongyi laughed and said, "I never get tired of looking at your face, but it is much more durable than having flowers." ”

The man is really good at talking, Zhu Niang's heart is very sweet, her pretty face can't help but turn red, and she lowers her head and doesn't dare to look at Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi listened to the gossip of the women, and it happened that Zhu Niang was shy, so he smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen your fierce appearance of killing people with a knife." ”

Zhu Niang gambled and said, "The concubine is locked up in the backyard all day long, how can she have a chance to go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”

At the same time, in a small house in Kaifeng City, Zuo Ziguang and Li Yanqing were sitting opposite each other.

Li Yanqing sighed and said: "Since Zhao Laosan was captured, the group of people raised by his subordinates seemed to have evaporated and disappeared without a trace. ”

Zuo Ziguang looked at Li Yanqing a little strangely, Li Yanqing saw that Zuo Ziguang didn't mean to speak, so he said again: "Recently, my eyelids have been jumping non-stop, as if something bad is about to happen. ”

"Hasn't it happened yet?" Zuo Zi looked at Li Zhongyi's appearance, touched his chin, and cherished the words like gold.

Li Yanqing has always appeared in his true colors in front of Zuo Ziguang, he simply cocked Erlang's legs and said: "However, if the sky falls, you and Li Yunxiao will carry it, and I, the police secretary, can stand aside." ”

Zuo Ziguang ate a little salty for breakfast, drank a few sips of tea soup, and then said: "What is there to worry about in Kaifeng City?" There are more than 10,000 people under your hands, and the people on my side are watching those dignitaries every day, and there are also people on Uncle Tiger's side to help us watch it. ”

After a while, Li Yunxiao arrived, and when he entered the door, he sat down beside Zuo Ziguang with a big knife and a golden knife, and shouted: "I'm dying of thirst, I'm dying of thirst, I'm too salty for breakfast today." ”

Li Yunxiao picked up the teapot and poured it into the spout, until she drank the tea soup, then wiped the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Happy, happy!" ”

"Tell me, why did they ask me to come here for a meeting today?" After Li Yunxiao sat down, she kept staring at Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing saw that Zuo Ziguang had no intention of speaking, so he arched his hand and said: "Brother Xiaosong, the main thing is that I don't have enough manpower on my side, and I want to borrow your subordinates to use it." ”

"Do you want me to do it for nothing? No way! Li Yunxiao's officers and soldiers often cooperate with Li Yanqing's actions, but the corresponding subsidy money is always delayed for several months.

"Alas, I don't care about the money, the money is in Uncle Huang's pocket." Li Yanqing accompanied the smiling face to comfort Li Yunxiao.

The three people present are all confidants of Li Zhongyi's henchmen, cronies of cronies, and they are all about the same age and of the same generation. So, in general, they are qualified to call each other brothers.

When it comes to Huang Jingsheng, who is in charge of money, not only Li Yanqing has a headache, but even Zuo Ziguang, who is a disciple of Li Zhongyi, sometimes feels helpless.

Huang Jingsheng is in charge of the money bag, and he implements the strict principle of separating revenue and expenditure, that is, only the procedures and official documents for approving money are recognized, and no one is recognized.

As a result, the police temple and the nine-gate admiral yamen, which have a large number of people, have become the departments that are most short of money to spend.

"Haha, you're coming pretty fast, aren't you?" With hearty laughter, Wang Dahu lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Uncle Wang is well." Zuo Ziguang has a low rank, so he quickly stood up and threw himself to the ground.

Wang Dahu secretly felt a little proud in his heart, the dignified Commander of the Cavalry, in front of him, he must also bow to the ground and be small, isn't it happy?

"I've seen the royal envoy." Li Yanqing also saluted Wang Dahu respectfully, don't look at his high position, but he never dared to be presumptuous in front of Wang Dahu.

"I've seen the royal envoy." Li Yunxiao also saluted respectfully, although he held the largest military power in Gyeonggi, when he saw Wang Dahu, he always had to be a head shorter.

Wang Dahu waved his hand and said, "We are all our own families, don't bother with those ethereal red tape, let's all sit down, Boss Huang hasn't come yet?" Count the latest of his arrivals every time. ”

Among the three brothers, Huang Jingsheng is the oldest, followed by Wang Dahu, and Li Zhongyi is second. Wang Dahu counted Huang Jingsheng, and none of the people present dared to speak, cough, the matter between the elders is very troublesome, and it is better not to be contaminated.

Huang Jingsheng is in charge of Li Zhongyi and the court's money bags, and the yamen who ask him for money every day are simply as many as a cow's hair, and he can't be busy, and he is not surprised every time he arrives late.

"Hehe, surnamed Wang, is you talking bad about me behind my back again?" Huang Jingsheng opened the curtain and entered the door, and he smashed Wang Dahu and covered his face.

After another busy ceremony, Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu each took one side, Li Yanqing moved to sit with Li Yunxiao, and Zuo Ziguang still sat still.

The question of seating can be very important in a formal setting of communication.

After all, Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu are both Li Zhongyi's sworn brothers, and they are one head higher than the other three in terms of identity and generation.

As for Zuo Ziguang, he is one of Li Zhongyi's close disciples, and his status is higher.

No matter how heavy Li Yunxiao and Li Yanqing's real power is, they are just Li Zhongyi's trusted courtiers, and their names are a little weaker.

After everyone sat down, Huang Jingsheng stared at Li Yanqing, and he said: "The bills you reported there are so messy that I get dizzy every time." ”

Li Yanqing couldn't afford to provoke Huang Jingsheng at all, so he had to say with a smiling face: "I'm all trivial here, and it's inevitable that the bills are insufficient." ”

Huang Jingsheng sneered: "As I said, the bills for everything should be packed in a bag for reimbursement." It's good that you always bring it in a mess, and my three divisions make the yamen seriously understaffed, so I can't see it at all. ”

In the entire Qianghan court, only Huang Jingsheng dared to talk to Li Yanqing like this, Li Yanqing was so blocked that he rolled his eyes directly, and he didn't dare to lose his temper.

Li Yunxiao has always been a high-minded person, Li Yanqing is not a three-year-old child, he will solve it himself.

Sure enough, Li Yanqing said with a smiling face: "It's all mine, I didn't discipline the people below, I promise not to make an example." ”

Seeing that Li Yanqing's posture was very upright, Huang Jingsheng's face softened slightly, and he said with a smile: "You don't have to lie to me that I'm happy, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, I still know." ”

When Li Yunxiao saw Huang Jingsheng looking at him, he smiled and said, "I don't have anything to trouble you." ”

Huang Jingsheng glared at him and said, "Don't think that the funds of your Jiumen Admiral Yamen are under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department, so I can't control you, do you want the subsidy for assisting in the patrol?" ”

Li Yunxiao estimated that Huang Jingsheng should have seen his appearance just now, and deliberately waited for him here.

"How can it, the small ones are just waiting for the rice to go to the pot, but you can't hold it and not send it."

In the years of peace, it was his father who was in charge of money, and Li Yunxiao couldn't afford to provoke Huang Jingsheng at all, so he had to bow his head and admit it.

In the days when Li Zhongyi was not in Kaifeng, Li Yunxiao, Huang Jingsheng, Wang Dahu, Li Yanqing, and Zuo Ziguang had to meet privately every five days in order to exchange information they had.

The five of them gathered together, and the four ministers of the cabinet in the imperial court also gathered in Li Qiong's official hall to discuss certain matters collectively.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before the emperor set out on the expedition, he told us to be sure to tidy up the sewage ditch in Kaifeng City, so as not to flood a large number of houses when the rainy season comes. Now that more than a month has passed, I don't know what the princes think? Li Qiong explained her intention unhurriedly.

Liu Jinshan has been in the Kaifeng Mansion for many years, and he naturally knows that the so-called sewage ditch actually stretches for hundreds of miles and is an important channel for discharging sewage in Kaifeng City.

When Zhu Wen of the Liang Dynasty was set in Kaifeng, the old Kaifeng city built by the Liang Dynasty had no obstacle problem of drainage because of the high terrain.

The most important thing is that due to the continuous gathering of people from all over the city in Kaifeng, a new Kaifeng city appeared along the city walls.

Due to the lack of any planning and the terrain of Xinkaifeng City, as long as it rains heavily, there will always be dozens of streets that will be soaked in stinky water.

Dozens of streets have been flooded, which is related to the living environment of more than 100,000 people, and the matter is very high.

Li Zhongyi, who has always been people-oriented, has always stared at this issue from the time he became the ruling king until now, and has not relaxed at all.

Now, Huang Jingsheng has spoken, and the three envoys have prepared enough money and food, just waiting for the cabinet to make a decision.

Today, Li Qiong brought everyone here to solve a few thorny problems: how much money? How many people are recruited? How many tools do you have on hand? Can we solve the problem of flooding before the rainy season arrives?

Previously, the four ministers of the cabinet were about to reach an agreement, who would have thought that Kong Kun would take advantage of the opportunity to treat the sewage ditch and build several academies in the outer city.

Kong Kun, as a descendant of Confucianism and Miao, promotes Confucianism, so he naturally has an unshirkable responsibility. But the problem is that dealing with sewage ditches and building academies are obviously two different things, but they are entangled together.

Liu Jinshan was naturally opposed, and his attitude was very clear: the construction of the academy was a major matter of the country, and it should be disposed of after the emperor returned to Beijing.

Zhe Congruan's attitude was somewhat unclear, and he neither opposed nor approved of the establishment of the academy.

As for Li Qiong's own attitude, because he is the prime minister and has a heavy responsibility, he feels that Kong Kun is somewhat ignorant of nonsense.

At today's meeting, Li Qiong just wanted to use Liu Jinshan's support to forcibly pass the court meeting.

Originally, Li Qiong thought that Kong Kun would strongly oppose it, but who would have thought that he would make a 180-degree turn and support the immediate start of construction to solve the problem of the sewage ditch.

Zhe Congruan looked at Kong Kun with some curiosity, this is the drama that is being played again, it is really a lot of thought!

At the same time, something big happened in the palace, Li Zhongyi's eldest son Li Jiyi disappeared inexplicably.

The dignified eldest son is gone, which is a great event.

After Tang Shuyi learned the news, he was so breathless that he almost fainted. If it was an ordinary trivial matter, Tang Shuyi would have called people for the first time, but if the news spread, it would definitely have a big negative impact on Li Jiyi taking over the entire empire in the future.

"Come on, why did such a big living person suddenly disappear?" Tang Shuyi forced the little guy next to Li Jiyi, and said ruthlessly, "You lost my dog, I can't live, and you don't want to live." ”

The little guys were trembling with fright, however, they really didn't know, where did Li Jiyi go?

Tang Shuyi realized the seriousness of the problem and hurried to find the Empress Dowager Xue, who was immediately stunned when she heard this.

The palace is huge, and it is heavily guarded, according to reason, it is impossible for Li Jiyi to leave the palace.

However, Empress Dowager Xue ordered people to search the entire backyard, and Li Jiyi was not seen, and the situation became more and more serious.

When Zhesaihua heard about this, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, and whispered: "The tree wants to be quiet, and the wind doesn't stop." The eldest son of the emperor has such a big thing, I am the most suspicious, and I can't wash it off. ”

Zhe Yukou happened to enter the palace to visit Zhesaihua, but he encountered this kind of unfortunate thing, he wanted to leave immediately, but was stopped by Zhesaihua.

"Big brother, if you want to leave at this time, in case Li Jiyi has three long and two short, the suspicion on my little sister will no longer be cleared." Zhesaihua has always been a big deal, and her words immediately woke up Zhe Yukou.

Zhe Yukou couldn't help but gasp, and said in a trembling voice: "It's just that when I came to the palace to visit you, Li Jiyi was gone, if someone deliberately designed it, it would be a big trouble." ”

"It's really troublesome, but let's not do bad things, what's so scary?" The more the crisis she faces, the more calm and calm she becomes.
