Cold heart lotus, mixed with rich perilla leaves, fried into the tofu skin with heavy oil, and then dipped in pepper and salt, can hardly be tasted without tasting, and even the name of the dish is hidden, leaving only the taste of perilla. What is the purpose of such a cover-up?

Don't...... Could it be that this Bihai Zhu clan poisoned his mind......

Li Taijun suddenly remembered Zhu Yuxiao's matter, and suddenly felt a shock, and his eyebrows were furious.

With me Li Rou here, how can you Zhu do such a vicious thing again?

Li Taijun squinted and saw Zhu Zhi's clean face like a spring breeze and white water, unaware of his vigilant gaze.

Wrong...... If it is said that Zhu Yuxiao was poisoned and unaware of it, it was because only she Zhu knew the secret of the fish at that time. Now this cold heart lotus is completely a thing of the Yin Mu country, and although it is toxic, it will not kill people. If she wanted to poison it, why would she use it?

What's more, at today's banquet, everyone in the palace knows that all the dishes are from her, how could she make such a decision to lead the fire?

Li Taijun's face was cloudy, but no matter what, she made up her mind that after the banquet, she must meet this crown princess for a while to solve the mystery in her heart.

Emperor Wen's ears sounded the congratulations of the ministers, and he enjoyed the joyful singing and dancing in front of him, but what he thought about in his heart was another melancholy thing.

Today's birthday, it's a pity that I don't see my son.

Li Chongyan has been in office for more than half a month, and Emperor Wen originally ordered him to return in January, not without counting his birthday celebration at that time, but deliberately sternly instructed him not to abolish the public for personal reasons, to serve with peace of mind, what he wants is to let him understand that as the king of a country, he should put state affairs first.

He, the only son, is a little arrogant and talented, and Emperor Wen knows it best as his father. But now that Mu Yun's qi is approaching, for the sake of the Li family's future plans, I can't bear to let him go out to practice, I'm afraid it's too late.

Therefore, in the first month of taking office, Emperor Wen concealed it very strictly, and only a few of the dragon guards who were secretly protecting the court, his personal Gonggong Li and the crown princess Zhu Zhijie knew. Make sure to be a real experience, not a perfunctory one.

I just hope he can understand this intention.

However, good intentions are hard work, and when it comes to his birthday, Emperor Wen's heart is still a little lonely.

Children who can't do without their parents often have parents who can't do without their children.

Gonggong Li looked at Emperor Wen's face from the side, and actually guessed a few points. He pondered that it would be better to divide His Majesty's mind first, so he secretly glanced down the stairs.

Pei Ran was the most well-behaved, and after taking the look, he turned around and threw it behind, and immediately three or four officials also picked up their wine glasses, and followed Pei Ran out of the ranks to the Dan Fan Imperial Steps, planning to pour a whole car of auspicious words out in turn.

Suddenly, a rumor spread outside the hall, and the eunuch said in a loud voice: "The county order of Xinyang County, Jingzhou Prefecture, asks to see Your Majesty." ”

The hall was stunned.

Pei Ran was suddenly interrupted to congratulate him, and he blurted out in his heart

"What kind of ...... is a county order", before he finished speaking, he saw a person walking quickly outside the hall, and he was so shocked that he swallowed the word "thing".

How can it be the crown prince.

The most surprising thing is Emperor Wen, who knows about it.

Emperor Wen's case of supporting the dragon,

I got up in a reluctant way. Calling out, "Emperor, you...... How did you get back? ”

A little bit of responsibility, a bit of joy, are all hidden in this sentence.

When Zhu Zhijie saw him enter the hall, her heart was full of joy, but she only sat quietly and looked at him.

This is the time to show the merits of your prince, if I come forward, will I not divide your demeanor.

The crown prince Li Chongyan strode forward, walked to the Dan steps without squinting, and bowed down

"Li Chongyan, the county commander of Xinyang County, the capital of Chenjing Prefecture, wishes Your Majesty a long life!"

The ministers of the palace all stared at the father and son with wide eyes.

Which one is this?

In the eyes of Emperor Wen now, there is no one else, and he has personally gone down the imperial steps to help. Seeing this, Pei Ran's brain spun quickly, and he vaguely guessed something, and immediately leaned over and retreated.

"Emperor, Jingzhou is seven or eight days away from the imperial capital at the earliest, how can you come. Besides, didn't I tell you to train there and not get distracted? Emperor Wen saw that his face was sweating, thinking that he must be in a hurry, and he felt pity, but in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, he still wanted to put on a strict father.

In fact, his tone is very different from that of Yan's father, but when everyone heard him say this, they all understood his thoughts and tacitly understood it.

Li Chongyan said with a smile, "Father, although the child is here to pay homage to his father's birthday, he is also on business, so he can't leave his post without permission." ”

"Oh? What is your business? ”

Li Chongyan glanced at Pei Ran on the side, turned around and said, "It's just right, Pei Shangshu is here, I asked Pei Shangshu." ”

Pei Ran was thinking about how to phrase to compliment this filial piety of a thousand miles of longevity, and Leng Buding was named by Li Chongyan, and greeted him with a smile.

"What does Your Highness say?"

"Jingzhou Mansion was flooded last month, and the silver taels for disaster relief have not yet reached my Xinyang County. But I saw that other states and counties had already received disaster relief funds, but my Xinyang County did not. So I went to Jingzhou Mansion to ask, and the prefect said that only Xinyang County's disaster relief money had not yet arrived in the household department's appropriation, so I wondered, why is this same disaster-stricken prefecture and county, still allocated in order? Coincidentally, Pei Shangshu is here, so it's better to ask you. ”

Pei Ran's mind only turned for a moment, and he knew the name of it.

He had already allocated the silver for disaster relief in Jingzhou, but the silver would definitely be distributed to the following counties in a few days when it arrived at the prefect. These days are nothing else, just waiting for the county ordinances of the counties.

According to the practice in the officialdom, the county order first privately offered the official silver of filial piety to the prefect before receiving the official silver for disaster relief. Other states and counties can receive official silver, and that is because other county orders have given silver.

Where can this prince know these tricks, he must have hidden his identity to investigate, and the prefect must have detained the official money in his hand when he saw a newly appointed stunned young man like him, and then found an excuse to push the head of the household.

If it is said that the prefect wants to go to such great lengths to exchange private silver for official silver, and directly deduct a part of the silver from the disaster relief, wouldn't it be the end of the other distribution? That's the doorway again.

First, the official silver is all new silver ingots, which are hot to use and attract people's attention. Second, when the payment is issued, it is required

If the number of public silver inspections and records is not matched, this crime cannot be afforded.

In fact, everyone knows this kind of thing, but your prince doesn't know. Now he suddenly came to this great hall to reason, and he was still in front of the saints...... It sounds good to say that he is on business, but what county order in the world dares to come directly to ask Shangshu if he can't get the disaster relief money? It's just that the father of this county order can't be provoked.

The ministers were silent on the side, like Mu Yunzuo, who was not used to seeing Pei Ran, just gloating on the wall, and there were also people as old and spicy as Ye Zhiqiu, just laughing, because he knew that such a trivial matter, how could it be difficult to defeat Pei Ran?

Pei Ran had a smile on his face, first bowed and asked, "Dare to ask, Your Highness, when did you take the trouble to rush from Xinyang County to the capital of Emperor Wanhua?" ”

Li Chongyan crossed his fingers and thought about it, and hesitated, "It should be noon seven days ago." ”

Pei Ran was waiting for this sentence, and immediately nodded heavily, and said with a serious face, "That's right!" Your Highness, the silver for disaster relief is related to the livelihood of the people of a state, it is a big thing, how dare the minister slack off? Chen clearly remembered that although the disaster relief silver in Jingzhou was distributed in two tranches, there was only a difference of two days, and the latter sum of silver was sent out early in the morning three days ago. His Royal Highness moved at noon seven days ago, but I am afraid that it happened to pass by. Chen believes that the silver must have arrived in Jingzhou at this moment! ”

Li Chongyan saw his convincing appearance, and said half-convinced, "Is this true?" ”

"How is it not true? The minister swore to heaven that the total amount of silver was 132,800 taels, the former was 84,200 taels, and the latter was 48,600 taels. ”

I have to say that Pei Ran still has some housekeeping skills in charge of the household, and the amount on the account alone can be memorized, and the provenance of each place is like a treasure.

It's just that in the ears of the ministers, they all secretly scolded him for being cunning, and it was obvious that he was bullying Li Chongyan and was a stunned young man.

Only Ye Zhiqiu thought to himself, he had set himself up for what he said.

Li Chongyan was stirred by a bunch of amounts crackling in his mouth, and his mind was already a little chaotic, and at the end he said that the state and county under his jurisdiction should be doubled, and he was happy in his heart.

He knew that there were many people in the surrounding states and counties who were more serious than Xinyang County, and this Pei Ran suddenly said that Xinyang County was the hardest hit area, and he was naturally reluctant to break it, as long as he could get the silver, he didn't even have the heart to continue to study for a while.

In fact, before Pei Ran said these words, he already had an idea in his heart. Since it takes seven days for Jingzhou to reach the emperor, then without waiting for the banquet to end, let people hurriedly allocate another sum of silver and hand it to Jingzhou first, and simply let the foolish prefect who dared to break ground on the prince's head directly send the silver to Xinyang County.

Emperor Wen watched from the sidelines.

Such a trick had to fool the prince, and when the prince met an old fox like Pei Ran, it was naturally normal for him to be sent away in a few words, let him go below to practice, but it was not just to let

Is he going to touch this kind of wall?

But then again, watching his son being tricked, being a father is indeed a little unhappy.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wen glanced at Pei Ran.

Just this glance.

Pei Ran suddenly felt that his back was beginning to sweat.

Not good...... This look, the saint is to protect the calf! In order to prevaricate the prince, the words he said could not be concealed from the saint anyway, and the saint looked at him, obviously dissatisfied with me fooling the prince and not taking him seriously, and now he is really going to cause trouble.

Ye Zhiqiu saw it clearly on the side, and thought to himself, he really trapped himself.

However, he felt that Pei Ran, an old fox officialdom, had been in officialdom for many years, and he could still cope with this scene.
