The imperial city will be the house!

Inside the central hall.

After returning from Dingyunfang, the two brothers Yan Liben and Yan Lide immediately found tools and began to draw the design drawings of the Tang Academy.

Seeing that they had begun to get busy, Li Yi was also happy to be idle and sat on the side to rest.

Yue'er stood behind her and massaged his shoulder.

"Elder Yan, how much time will it take you to draw the design drawings of the academy?" Li Yi asked casually while leisurely drinking tea.

If it takes too long, Li Yi is bored to sit here and wait, so it is better to go out for a walk.

Yan Liben, who was painting the drawings, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Yi, "Horse, it should take two hours to draw." ”

"Well, you can continue to draw, and when you're done, show it to me." Li Yi nodded.

Two hours is already a long time for Li Yi, and he can't stay.

Moreover, the atmosphere in Jiangzuo's mansion was surprisingly quiet, except for Yue'er, the rest of the people were busy drawing drawings, and no one came to brag to him at all.

Li Yi felt that this atmosphere was a little depressing.

He didn't like it very much.

Simply, being idle is also idle, Li Yi got up and said to Yue'er casually, "Let's go, Yue'er, go out with me to breathe, and come back later." ”

"Okay, Childe." Yue'er Yingying nodded and smiled, and followed Li Yi out of the general's mansion.

Yan Liben and the others in the mansion were speechless when they saw Li Yi leaving with his hands behind his back.

"Hey, this is the life of a colt, the laid-back ...... of Zhente Niang"

Sighing speechlessly in his heart, Yan Liben and the others threw themselves into the painting again.

……

And Li Yi took Yue'er out of the house, walking aimlessly, and before she knew it, Yue'er found that this road was actually the way to the Ministry of Rites.

"Childe, are we going to the Ministry of Rites?" Yue'er asked out loud.

"Ministry of Rites?" Li Yi couldn't help but be stunned and blinked his eyes.

If it weren't for Yue'er's question, Li Yi hadn't remembered in his mind that he still had 100,000 taels of silver in the Ministry of Rites.

It seems that going to the Ministry of Rites is necessary now.

Because in the court, Li Shimin only announced in the open that he would allocate 1.5 million taels of silver to himself for the construction of the Tang Academy.

If he didn't go to the Ministry of Rites to ask for it, he was afraid that the 100,000 taels of silver would definitely pretend that Li Shimin didn't know.

Li Yi dared to affirm in his heart that according to Li Shimin's psychology of pit himself like this, the Ministry of Rites must have known about this now.

Moreover, Li Shimin also secretly admonished them.

Although it is only a small 100,000 taels of silver, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and he must not be pitted by Li Shimin.

"Let's go, let's go to the Ministry of Rites now!" After thinking clearly, Li Yi made a decisive decision.

"Hmm." Yue'er nodded, followed behind Li Yi, and went to the Ministry of Rites together.

……

Ministry of Rites.

The current head of the Ministry of Rites is Dou Lukuan, and at this moment, he is sitting in the mansion, drinking tea leisurely.

Since the completion of the previous dynasty, he received an edict from the saint from Gonggong Gao, saying that as long as Li Bo'an did not come to the Ministry of Rites to ask him for money, the 100,000 taels of silver could be saved.

Even if Li Yi came in person, he had to pretend not to know about it.

After all, the treasury is now somewhat tight.

Dou Lukuan, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is also very clear in his heart.

During this period of time, although the whole country and the people have had enough food and clothing, in fact, the funds in the treasury are not very abundant.

Seeing that most of the time had passed, and he hadn't heard the news of Li Yi coming, Dou Lukuan was completely relieved in his heart.

"If Li Boan doesn't come to ask for money, his life will be much more comfortable." Dou Lukuan sighed in his heart.

But at this time, an official of the Ministry of Rites suddenly ran in quickly, hugged his fists and reported: "Qi Yu Shangshu, the horse is here." ”

"What?" Dou Lukuan was taken aback, and the tea cup in his hand almost fell directly, and the sip of tea that had just entered his mouth squirted out directly.

Quickly wiped the corners of his mouth and put down the teacup, Dou Lukuan asked in disbelief, "What did you just say?" Say it again! ”

When the Ministry of Rites official saw this, he was immediately a little confused.

He didn't know why Dou Lu Kuan reacted so much, but since Shang Shu Dou Lu Kuan had spoken, he had to honestly report it again.

"Hui Shangshu, the colt is here, and now he is waiting outside the door." The Ministry of Rites official said.

"......" Dou Lukuan's mood instantly became not good.

He was secretly glad in his heart just now, after such a long time, Li Yi had not come to the Ministry of Rites to ask for money, but he didn't expect that he would come whatever he wanted.

Li Yi is now coming to the Ministry of Rites to urge money!

"Huhu ......" took a deep breath, as if there was going to be a tough battle to be fought, and Dou Lu Kuan commanded vigilantly, "Let me come in." ”

"Yes, Shangshu." The official of the Ministry of Rites was full of snort, and quickly turned around and left.

It didn't take long for Li Yi to take Yue'er to the main hall of the Ministry of Rites.

"Colt, how come you have time here? Please take a seat. Dou Lukuan smiled all over his face, and at the same time hurriedly ordered someone to bring hot tea and put it next to Li Yi's seat.

As soon as he saw Dou Lukuan's humble appearance, Li Yi knew that his guess must be correct.

Otherwise, where would Dou Lukuan have such a look?

There must be a ghost in the heart!

"Dou Shangshu, Bo'an came here today, didn't bother you, right?" Li Yi smiled, sat down calmly, and took a sip of tea at the same time.

"Hehe, colt, look at you...... What is this saying? Dou Lu Kuan smiled and groaned, "You can come to our Ministry of Rites, that is the service of our Ministry of Rites!" ”

"Is that true?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

"Naturally, it's serious!" Dou Lukuan laughed.

Anyway, as for the reason why Li Yi came here today, Dou Lukuan knew very well in his heart, but he didn't rashly ask.

If he took the initiative to speak, wouldn't it be equivalent to ...... Asking for trouble?

It's better to have more than less.

Subsequently, Dou Lukuan began to chat with Li Yi, and at the same time kept praising Li Yi, which made Li Yi's heart speechless for a while.

"Dou Lukuan, this guy is worthy of being the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his mouth is really powerful. Just a few words, the topic will be far away! ”

Li Yi had to admire Dou Lukuan's eloquence.

"Ahem..."Listening to Dou Lukuan's praise, Li Yi really couldn't listen to it, and he was very tired to watch him perform, constantly drinking tea, Li Yi coughed dryly twice, interrupting Dou Lukuan's praise.

"Dou Shangshu." Li Yi looked at Dou Lukuan and said bluntly, "I came here today, you should know in your heart, why did you come here?" ”

"Don't be joking, don't be joking, please forgive the old man for being stupid, where will the old man know?" Dou Lukuan smiled wryly.

While looking at Li Yi, he blinked again, seeing that Li Yi hadn't taken a sip of tea for a long time, he hurriedly asked, "Donkey, but because this tea is not to your taste?" Or...... The old man immediately asked someone to replace it with one for you? ”

As he spoke, Dou Lukuan looked at the people on the side, and ordered with a serious face: "Hurry up and change a good tea for the horse, this tea horse is not used to drinking." ”

"Yes, Shangshu." The officials on the side nodded a little confusedly, so they prepared to come over, take away the tea cup next to Li Yi, and replace it with another one.

"......" At this time, Li Yi was completely convinced.

Dou Lu Kuan, you cow batch!

He just asked a question, but Dou Lukuan was good, he immediately took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and brought Li Yi's topic to tea.

This special mother's eloquence, not to be a liar and fool others, is simply a tyrannical thing.

"I don't drink the tea anymore, so I don't need to change it." Li Yi waved his hand to stop the official's movements, then looked at Dou Lukuan, and directly named the subject, "Dou Shangshu, don't mess around with the topic, I'm here today to urge money!" ”

Seeing Li Yi like this, Dou Lukuan was stunned as if he didn't know, and said in surprise, "Donkey, what money?" ”

"......" Seeing that Dou Lukuan was still pretending to be stupid, Li Yi was a little speechless.

If Li Shimin didn't inform him secretly, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Li Yi.

Dou Lukuan's expression doesn't it mean that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?

"Dou Shangshu, don't play dumb riddles." Li Yi took a deep breath, "The Holy Lord asked me to build a academy, and the Holy Decree said that I would give me 100,000 taels of silver first." ”

Dou Lu Kuan's heart suddenly felt a little bad, but his reaction was still very fast, and he quickly looked at the officials on the side, and wondered: "Is there such a thing?" ”

"The lower officials don't know, Shangshu." The official quickly shook his head and vetoed.

After listening to it for a long time, he finally understood completely, the reason why Dou Lukuan reacted like this was because of the 100,000 taels of silver.

As for this, he really didn't know about it.

Moreover, Li Shimin did not make a holy decree.

Seeing this, Dou Lukuan immediately spread his hands, and said with a depressed face: "Donkey, you also heard it with your own ears, they don't know, and the old man doesn't know about it!" ”

"Are you sure you're not lying?" Li Yi squinted slightly.

Dou Lukuan immediately nodded, with a very serious look, and said solemnly: "The old man really doesn't know, if there is a holy decree, the old man will definitely immediately take out 100,000 taels of silver and offer it with both hands!" ”

"I see." Li Yi nodded as if he had realized something, and then smiled slightly, "Yue'er, take out the holy decree and show it to Dou Shangshu." ”

"Yes, Childe." In response, Yue'er immediately took out a holy decree from behind her.

The color of the holy decree in Yue'er's hand is exactly the same as the holy decree that Dou Lukuan knows in his heart.

"......" Dou Lukuan was dumbfounded.

The officials on the side were also instantly dumbfounded.

, what kind of operation is this? The Holy Decree is still carried with him? Say take it?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Li Boan, this guy, actually came prepared for a long time ago? Just waiting for your own words?

Dou Lukuan instantly felt that the nonsense he had said to Li Yi before was completely in vain.

Moreover, he also fell into Li Yi's plan and fell into the pit that Li Yi had designed a long time ago.

"Dou Shangshu, do you want to open it and take a look for yourself?" Li Yi smiled calmly, looking confident, staring at Dou Lukuan.

"......" Dou Lukuan was speechless for an instant.

Open it and see for yourself?

In other words, isn't he a ...... Don't believe in Li Yi, don't you believe in Li Shimin's holy decree?

It was a capital offense of beheading.

"Ahem, no, don't look at it." Dou Lukuan grinned a little embarrassedly, "Of course the old man believes in the horse, how can this kind of thing be fake?" ”

Seeing this, Li Yi smiled with satisfaction, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then please ask Dou Shangshu, now order someone to take out the silver taels and let people send them to my mansion, right?" ”

"Ahem..."Dou Lukuan coughed embarrassedly, a little reluctant to give up the tunnel, "Don't you send the silver taels to your house now, if you are robbed in the middle of the road, wouldn't it be bad?" ”

Li Yi shook his head with a smile, "Dou Shangshu, please rest assured, Bo'an believes in the security of the Tang Kingdom, there is absolutely no problem!" ”

"......" What else can Dou Lukuan say?

Did he say that he was not at ease with law and order? Isn't that self-seeking death?

"Hey......" Dou Lukuan's mood suddenly became extremely melancholy.

What he said before had been completely listened to by Li Yi, if he repented now, wouldn't it be ...... Slap yourself in the face?

Dou Lukuan felt helpless in his heart.

Finished.

Only then did he fight with Li Yi, and within two sentences of the confrontation, he was completely defeated.

"Someone." Dou Lukuan smiled helplessly, his face was a little embarrassed, looked at the officials beside him, and ordered, "Go and order 100,000 taels of silver and let people send them to the Horse Mansion." ”

"Yes, Shangshu." The official's face twitched, and he quickly turned to leave.

At this moment, looking at Li Yi again, Dou Lukuan felt a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly defended himself: "Ahem, but the old man forgot it before, and please don't be surprised." ”

"Hehe, it's okay." Li Yi smiled and shook his head, "People have a bad memory, and they will inevitably forget things, and Bo'an often forgets things." ”

"yes...... Yes......" Seeing that Li Yi had set up a step for him, Dou Lukuan nodded awkwardly in response.

Not long after, the official turned around and came back, and reported: "Shangshu, the silver has been ordered, and the lower official will immediately send someone to send the silver taels to the Horse Mansion." ”

"Hmm." Dou Lukuan nodded a little distressedly.

Seeing this, Li Yi immediately got up, clasped his fists and saluted, "Since this is the case, then Bo'an will not stay and leave first." ”

"Slow down." Dou Lukuan smiled bitterly and clenched his fists.

"Dou Shangshu stays." Li Yi smiled back, and then turned around and left with Yue'er.

When I went out, I went forward to check it out in person, but when I saw that a few boxes were really full of silver, I nodded reassuringly and motioned for them to carry them to the Guogong Mansion.

And Dou Lukuan, looking at the silver two who was carried away, immediately regretted it in his heart, but when he saw Li Yi walking on his front foot, he immediately ordered everyone to run slowly towards the imperial study.

Outside the main hall of the Ministry of Rites.

"Childe, you're so smart, you can come up with this kind of idea!" Yue'er followed Li Yi to Jiangzuofu while opening the holy decree with a smile.

I saw that there was not a word in the open decree, and it was empty.

In fact, it is just a false decree.

Li Yi rubbed Yue'er's little head and said, "Hurry up and put this thing back, don't let people find out." ”

"Hmm." Yue'er nodded, and immediately disappeared beside Li Yi.

"Fight with me? Small! ”
