Chapter 289: East Palace Gossip
Cai Cong said crookedly, sometimes people's imagination can't be too rich, and it's unlucky to think too concretely!
Fang Yuan scratched his waist, he also felt itchy, and he felt itchy in his heart as he walked.
After Cai Cong took a bath and changed into new clothes, he felt that he was back to normal, and ordered someone to get out of the carriage and go towards the East Palace.
Li Chengqian was playing butterfly fluttering with a few beautiful palace maids in the palace, eating tofu by the way, and when he heard that Cai Cong was coming, he threw the net pocket to the palace people in confusion, pushed away the tired palace maids, and walked towards the study.
Cai Cong is secretly stuffing a copy of Wang Xizhi's goose exchange sticker into his arms, this post is too famous, didn't it say that it was collected by Lao Li, how could it be in the East Palace?
Li Chengqian happened to push open the door, and Cai Cong hurriedly carried it into his arms. Li Chengqian immediately shouted: "You man came to steal my things again, hand them over to me quickly, what did you steal from me?" ”
"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just a book, we're good brothers, you won't be reluctant to give up a book, right?"
Cai Cong said with a smile, Li Chengqian checked it, and said very puzzled: "That's not right!" I'm not missing anything, what do you have! ”
Cai Cong suddenly took out the goose change post from his arms and asked, "This is fake?" ”
"Nonsense, where is my father! This is the copy that my father asked him to use the paper of the Jin Dynasty to rub down, if you like it, take it! Li Chengqian said casually, and covered several precious solitary books on the bookcase without a trace.
Only then did he ask slowly: "There has been such a big movement these days, you killed an old man at my uncle's house yesterday, why are you free to come to me today?" ”
"Can I do it if I don't come? You said that the two of us should work together to build a martyr's tower, how long has it been, how have I heard? Even the ground hasn't been leveled, so it's still going to be put there? The people under your command are too careless, they don't take this matter seriously! ”
Cai Cong said babblingly, among the children of Chang'an, he and Li Tai dared to talk to Li Chengqian like this, as Li Chengqian's government affairs became more and more heavy, his aura became heavier and heavier, and ordinary people had to think twice when they spoke in front of him.
"Believe it or not, I beat you to death, can you blame the people under me for not paying attention? My father transferred ninety percent of the cement to repair the city wall, what should I use to level the ground? At the end of the day! Or do you like to show off too much, and you have nothing to do with Chang Sima? It's still as hard as iron, and the city is first-class, so it's okay now, right?
Originally, the heroic tower could be repaired in half a year, but now the city wall has not been repaired, so don't think about repairing it, my father said that all the city walls have been widened by three meters and heightened by five meters, and the cement workshop has been expanded by eight, which is still not enough! All the cement that came out was pulled away by the people of the Ministry of Industry. ”
Li Chengqian picked up the fruit on the table, took a bite, and said angrily. Cai Cong's face turned green when he heard his words. Chang'an is big, and it is not easy to live. Li Shimin wants to add five meters to the height and three meters to the width of all the city walls, even if the project is carried out day and night, without a few years of effort, don't want to complete it!
"Didn't I give the all the formulas to the Ministry of Works? Why do they still come to ask for cement, do they want to nod face? ”
"What kind of face do you want? If you're smart, give the cement recipe to the Ministry of Industry. Originally, the cement was sold to the Ministry of Industry, but now it is good, they directly brought in the raw materials and asked the workshop to process them for them, except for the wages of the workers, not a penny was given to us. Don't go to them lately, if it weren't for the fact that you were about to get married, they would have wanted to beat you. ”
Li Chengqian said sadly and indignantly, he was happy to invest money in it, and he thought that he would have money to collect in the future, but now it is good, all the money has been lent to the Ministry of Industry, and it will be extremely difficult to see some output in a few years.
"That's not going to work! After the fight, no one dared to touch Datang's tiger whiskers for at least a few years. If you don't take advantage of the heat of the big victory to repair the Heroic Tower, even if it is repaired in a few more years, no one cares, then this Heroic Pagoda will be repaired in vain, how can the soldiers be looked down upon now, and how will they be looked down upon in the future. ”
Cai Cong frowned, and said solemnly, most people are eager for a while, if you can't infuse the idea of a soldier defending the country and a hero into the people's concept now, the effect of doing this again in a few years will be minimal, or even ineffective.
"I'm worried that after a long time, the people in the court will find a way to persuade my father to stop the Martyr's Tower, and then our efforts will be in vain."
Li Chengqian said worriedly, no one in the court wants the status of the warrior to be improved, Cai Cong is right, the center of gravity of the court will naturally tilt to the side of Wenchen, and I am afraid that it will be more obvious in two years.
"Alas, you're right, if it drags on for a year and a half, this matter will be yellow. Gotta figure figure it out, we can't afford to put it off. ”
Cai Cong is also very worried, where are the limitations of the times, as long as Wenchen takes power, it will be difficult to continue this matter.
"Why don't we sneak around and find the next place and make cement on the sly?"
"Pull it down! Those civil officials are like dogs with a dog's nose, sneaking around the next cement kiln, at most the next day, the great third day, they should find it, and then the cement kiln should be requisitioned. ”
Cai Cong frowned and said, there must be someone on Wenchen's side who is watching the progress of the Heroic Tower, as long as the progress is faster, they will follow the car pulling cement to find the door.
"There has to be some way, otherwise it is better to give up automatically, so that it will save face."
Li Chengqian said depressedly, although he is dealing more and more with studying government affairs, but learning is learning, and the main thing is watching. This time, I just want to show my face to Cai Cong, if I admit defeat in a gloomy way, it will be too shameless.
"Don't meddle in this matter, let me tell you, don't look at your stable position, but the more you do this, the more you need to have a good relationship with the ministers, and the prince of the former Sui was ruined because he was too angry."
Cai Cong said very seriously, in fact, by this time, Li Chengqian's position was as stable as Mount Tai, as long as he didn't come nonsense, Li Shimin would never change him. But there is no big mistake in being careful, and it is also appropriate to have a better relationship with the ministers.
"Nacheng, what do you say about this? I won't interfere, you hurry up, if you can't do it, use your killer move! ”
Li Chengqian nodded and said, what Cai Cong said is also very reasonable, the relationship between him and the ministers is very mysterious, it is too close to Lao Li's heart is uncomfortable, the distance is too far, and the ministers feel that he is superior.
"Killer? I don't have a killer feature! ”
Cai Cong was confused, how could he have any killer features?
"That's no, Man Chang'an knows that your most powerful thing is to play a scoundrel, sprinkle and play a hooligan, just say it, say it if you can't say it, and if you are in a hurry, you will also order a house, who in Man Chang'an is not afraid of your trick?"
Li Chengqian laughed, Cai Cong's trick was not used once or twice, if he really came to this trick, those Wenchen really couldn't bear it, this is called Xiucai when he met the soldiers, and it was unreasonable to say.
