Jingguo, Chang'an City, in the imperial study, this is one of the most important places in Jingguo, because all the twists and turns are written here, so that the things in the notebook can become true.

However, on this long mahogany table used to review the folds, there are no folds, only a delicate purple clay pot and three teacups.

Because since the founding of the country, Jingguo has set up a stone tablet with only the word "one" written on it, which means that the simpler the better, so it is not as magnificent as imagined.

This is also why Jingguo can go from the smallest of the thirteen kingdoms to the head of the three kingdoms that now sits on Kyushu.

One stood facing the window and kept tapping his fingers on the window frame, one was making tea with a blank face, and the other two sat opposite each other and had no words to talk.

"Your Majesty, the tea is ready." The man who made the tea broke the long silence by speaking, and after he had poured it, he took two steps back and stood in the corner, without making a sound.

The man facing the window nodded and said, "According to the words of the city gate official, the people in this capital are also involved in this deed?" ”

Then the man shook his sleeves and turned around, and you could not tell his age on his face, and the years seemed to have left only a few traces on his face.

Vicissitudes of life, but not vicissitudes, and from the moment he opened his mouth to speak, to his every move that he just turned around, he had the momentum of sweeping Liuhe.

He is the confused emperor in Xi Yuanxiu's mouth, but he doesn't look confused, he only feels like two words, domineering!

After His Majesty the Emperor finished speaking, he glanced at the two people who were seated. The middle-aged man in the purple official uniform, after hearing this, put down the tea he had made, shook his clothes, touched the wrench of his left hand with his right hand, and said: "The minister thinks that this matter must not be delayed, and the knife is messy, and the best strategy is to do it!" ”

"Chai Song, what about you!"

Sitting on the side, the man in the cyan official uniform, unhurriedly, spit out the tea leaves he ate in his mouth and put them in his cuffs, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Wang Xiangguo said is reasonable!" ”

With the calm silence of His Majesty the Emperor, there was no sound in the entire imperial study.

......

......

After about half an hour, Jingguo, the Imperial Palace, and the Jinluan Palace.

The entire Jinluan Palace is better than the room that is a little bigger than the imperial study just now, and the whole black and quaint palace does not look as good as any restaurant in Chang'an City.

Sitting on the dragon chair, His Majesty the Emperor was dressed in a black dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and he did not sit as majestic as he imagined, but sat up with his eyes closed, his arms on his knees, his head tilted to the side, and his hands propped up.

The beaded curtain on his head, because his crooked head was all on the side, the majesty was not reduced, but there was more of a sense of self-respect, and the officials under the dragon chair were also very acquainted, and they did not open their mouths to play.

"No one wants to say anything to me?" Li Wei asked with a smile.

But the officials in the audience were hesitant, and no one dared to answer his words. You must know the temper of His Majesty the Emperor, but it is really not good, everyone thinks that it is better not to speak if he says the wrong thing.

Seeing the ministers react like this, he straightened his body, his face became ugly directly, and he shouted angrily at the courtiers below: "My salt and iron envoy in Yangzhou actually said that he didn't know anything about it, and such an important matter was actually arrested by two city gate officials to know it, usually I am too good to them!" Yes? The person who was arrested also said that there was a person in the court, and I wanted to see which adult was short of money to spend, and I gave it to you! ”

His Majesty the current Emperor is like the sea in the east of Jingguo, just calm and calm, but at this time it is turbulent, and none of the courtiers below dare to raise their heads!

Li Wei sat on the dragon chair, looking at these Aiqing, who usually had nothing to do to invite merit, but had something to hide behind him, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Seeing those courtiers who had been dodging their eyes, he sighed and asked, "You six departments see if there is a suitable candidate, if it weren't for the fact that the envoys of the Golden Horde would arrive soon, I would definitely go there in person, where would I be able to use your group of rice buckets!" ”

As he spoke, His Majesty's anger came up again!

At this time, one person took the initiative to stand up and said: "Zhou Wenbin, the servant of the ministry, is willing to solve problems for His Majesty!" ”

The official department was stunned for a while, at this juncture, whoever dared to take this stubble was waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to open his mouth and personally select among the six departments, and everyone wanted to pin it to their heads.

But he didn't expect that the people under his hand would open their mouths first. He looked at the uncontrollable smiles on the faces of the other Shangshu, at this time, this Shangshu Lord was even more angry than our Emperor Majesty!

Zhou Wenbin saw that His Majesty the Emperor did not react, and wondered if he hadn't heard it, and was just about to speak again, when the official Shangshu on the side coughed lightly and signaled him not to speak.

Just when His Majesty the Emperor was chanting Zhou Wenbin's name one by one, a little eunuch ran up from the apse, and quietly whispered in Li Wei's ear, and then he knocked on the fingers of the dragon chair and slowly stopped, and said: "Zhou Wenbin, I will hand over this matter to you, don't live up to my high expectations for you, but only give you three months, I want to end the year, by the way, send someone to inform King Xian, the tour of the southern border is over, you don't have to return to Beijing, go directly to Yangzhou, and go with Zhou Shilang." Zhou Wenbin, you leave immediately, and the holy decree will be sent to you in a moment! ”

"Command!" After Zhou Wenbin finished speaking, he saluted and retreated to the ministers.

The eunuch on the side nodded, and asked the little eunuch behind him to pass the order, and when he saw the slightly tired emperor, he leaned over and asked, "What else does Your Majesty have to order?" ”

This eunuch was also clever, and seeing that His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to speak anymore, he said to the ministers: "The dynasty is over this morning, retreat!" ”

As soon as he left the palace, Zhou Wenbin looked at the pale face of the official Shangshu and asked puzzledly: "My lord, is there something wrong with what his subordinates are doing?" ”

The official department squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said: "There's nothing wrong, it's me who brought you into the ministry at that time, do you think this case is so easy to solve, don't you look at those few families who are hiding and hiding, and you haven't even found out that this salt and iron envoy is close at hand, why do you think you can solve it if you go?" ”

Zhou Wenbin nodded slightly apologetically, and asked again: "Then why did His Majesty think about it for so long before agreeing to this matter in the palace just now?" ”

This time, the official Shangshu couldn't hold back the fire, grabbed Zhou Wenbin aside, and then scolded: "You have really been under my hands for a few years, Your Majesty is checking, checking that you are a person from the East Palace or a person from the palace!" Because you are not from any family, so Your Majesty handed it over to you, and I don't say much to your stupid descendants, you only know how to read, and your brain is bad! ”

After saying that, our angry Lord Shangshu left, leaving Zhou Wenbin, who was still a little regretful.

He just felt that His Majesty the Emperor had decided to choose to handle this case by himself because of his outstanding political achievements in the past.

But after listening to these words of his boss, he laughed a few times self-deprecatingly, dragged his steps, and walked out of the incomprehensible deep palace compound.

...

...

Chang'an City, Daming Palace

Li Wei, who returned to the dormitory, was served, took off the dragon robe, was already dressed in civilian clothes, and sat on the couch.

took a sip of tea, handed it to the little eunuch beside him, then leaned on the collapse, closed his eyes and said, "Zhang Yong, these days, why haven't you seen the third child, did you go to cause any trouble and didn't dare to come to see me?" ”

This person was the one who had made tea in the imperial study earlier, and was the personal eunuch of His Majesty the Emperor.

It seems that although he is old and his eyes can never be opened, the few strokes of walking in the imperial study that day have already shown this unfathomable skill.

"Back to Your Majesty, in recent days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been cultivating his mind in Qingshui on the outskirts of the city, besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now calm, and His Majesty has no intention of worrying too much!"

Li Wei asked again: "What about the fourth?" ”

Zhang Yong tested the temperature of the teapot with his fingers, smiled with satisfaction, and replied: "His Royal Highness Xianwang is not in the south, inspecting on behalf of His Majesty, just Xiaodongzi didn't say that you had already asked His Royal Highness Xianwang to go to Yangzhou to help handle the case, Your Majesty has been overworked recently and forgot." ”

Li Wei nodded a little tiredly, and said: "Yes, I asked him to go, but I forgot about it, by the way, I asked you, did the prince come to you secretly behind my back?" And the fourth, has he also been here? ”

Zhang Yong covered his mouth with his hand that was a little leaky because he lost a tooth, smiled and said: "Where is Your Majesty, the two highnesses have nothing to do, what are you looking for a slave to do, don't you want to learn this tea-making craft from the slave!" ”

Li Wei raised his eyelids, looked at Zhang Yong and scolded with a smile: "Old thing, you can pretend to be confused for me, the two of them have come to you to talk about you, I already know, but do you understand my intentions?" ”

Zhang Yong bowed his head and said respectfully: "The slave doesn't dare to figure out the sacred heart, serve Your Majesty well, and be able to make tea and pour water for you every day, which is the slave's business, and the rest of the things, the slave has never thought about it, let alone dared to think about it!" ”

Li Wei changed the majestic appearance of the court, and said with a little smile: "The old thing, it will please me as always!" ”

Zhang Yong laughed twice, and seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was still in a happy mood, he whispered: "Your Majesty, it will be September 13 in a while!" ”

Li Wei seemed to nod, but he didn't seem to react.

Zhang Yong saw that his master was a little impatient, so he said: "Your Majesty, you can rest, the old slave will retreat first!" ”

Li Wei raised his hand at this time and motioned for Zhang Yong to stop. Zhang Yong asked, "What else does Your Majesty command?" ”

"Well, what do you think about letting the third child go to Yangzhou too?" Li Wei asked.

"Since Your Majesty has already thought about it, it is that you have already made a decision! The slave is going to give a decree to His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

"Well, stand down!"

"No"

After Zhang Yong left, Li Wei's eyes have been staring at the screen in the dormitory, drawing the Tenglong map of Kyushu, I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor is looking at the territory he has single-handedly laid down on this screen, or looking at Yangzhou City, which is thousands of miles away!
