Emperor Li Zhi is now completely old and cares about state affairs, but when Li Xian moved all the Damascus knives into Luoyang Palace for the old man to see, and then brought other weapons of the Ordnance Department as test subjects, he immediately became interested. found that it was really easy to use, and this first batch of things was sent to him by his son as a congratulatory gift, and then transferred ten to Emperor Li Hong, and the rest were temporarily put into storage, not to mention his satisfaction, and he didn't even ask how many knives he brought back this time.

Even Li Hong didn't expect Li Xian to have this kind of experience: "Hey, sixth brother, I think that the capital you invested in it was not less than 10,000 yuan, and all of this was collected into the arsenal, could it be used to equip Yulin Qianqi?" Isn't it a little too extravagant? ”

"Shhh, that's what I said to my father, do you think I have a lot of money to burn?"

Li Xian took advantage of his father's happiness like a child, pulled Li Hong to the side, and said mysteriously: "Do you think, what will my father do if he suddenly has a good weapon?" Why don't you find a few old generals to enter the palace to show off? The father has always been the best to the old ministers, and after showing off, he will definitely give things generously, think about it, there are more monks and less porridge, and in the end, will people not have it, will they be tempted, will they find a way to get a handful? ”

"This ...... It's possible! ”

Li Hong nodded unconsciously. You must know that the generals of the Tang Dynasty certainly have standard weapons, but as a general, there are battles to fight all the time, who doesn't want to get better weapons? Coupled with some people who have a collector's habit, this is not to mention the preference for divine weapons. After thinking about it, it dawned on him.

This younger brother of his...... Are you going to make money with this kind of unelegant idea?

"You...... Let me say what is good about you! Li Hong pointed at Li Xian's nose angrily and funny, "Why do you seem to have fallen into the eyes of money, if this spreads, I, the emperor, and you, the prince, will still have a face!" ”

"Fifth brother, don't forget. The construction period of the Ming Hall given by my father was only five years, but now a year has passed! ”

Thinking of a certain Mingtang, Li Hong, who was originally going to fight his younger brother to make money, was suddenly dumbfounded, and finally sighed helplessly, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to this matter. When the brothers left the Zhenguan Palace, Li Hong suddenly asked: "What do you think of the stone slab that Guo Xingzhen dedicated to his father and queen mother after his comeback?" ”

Last month, Guo Xingzhen, who had been missing for more than two years, was finally "found" by a medicine collector in Zhongnan Mountain, and the first thing he did when he came out of the mountain was to present a certain stone slab to Li Zhi and Empress Wu. According to research. The stone slab was at least hundreds of years old, and there was a long inscription engraved on it, which was a prediction of the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xian was originally concocted behind the scenes, but when Li Hong asked him, he didn't reveal half a point, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing can't be trusted, and it can't be trusted, just don't blame it." My father originally believed in this, and it would not be bad to give him a little sustenance. As for the queen mother, isn't she just as happy these days? ”

Yes, the Supreme Father and Mother are very happy. Why did he think it was weird? Li Hong shook his head and decided not to think about the truth of these things anymore. After breaking up with Li Xian, he transferred to his own Dihui You Hall and continued to practice the self-cultivation exercises taught by Sun Simiao. The body is the capital, after this sentence was nagged by Li Xian countless times. It finally became his first rule.

And Li Xian did not return to the East Palace. After digging around the walls and establishing a strong government affairs team, he was finally liberated from the heavy government affairs, basically just a glance at the big seal, after all, even if something happens, there are provincial seals, and there is no need to worry about poking a big leak. With the personality of the old Shangguan, he will definitely not look at his face and let go of the fish that slipped through the net.

Today is the day of the Su family's big festival in Jizhou, although Su Yu has been staying in Luoyang, but such a day will also be worshiped at home. Just yesterday, Li Xian was stopped by Lu Sanniang on the way home. After listening to a cold talk, he came to this place. Even though I haven't figured out what to say, it's been dragged on until today. It is necessary to cut through the mess quickly.

Although the Su family is scarce, the Su family's compound still looks as neat as it was then. In a hot and cold place like Luoyang, the reason why it can still maintain its current situation is largely because many people see that Su Yu and Li Xian have a good relationship, so they dare not slack off. Otherwise. The grange and real estate in the name of the Su family. It may not survive until now. This is the same as Xu Jingzong, who takes tea and cools.

Although he and Su Dingfang drank a few times in the past, since the other party died. This is the first time Li Xian has come. Stepping on the threshold at this moment, he had a strange feeling. There are many kinds of willows in the door of the mansion, and the front yard of the Su family is naturally no exception, and the ten thousand willow trees with green silk are swaying their branches slightly in the wind, and the greenery is particularly intoxicating.

When he first came in, Li Xian felt a little strange, this Su family is also the gate of the mansion, and there is no one at the door, and even the two gates are just hidden. And this front yard is also quiet, there is no figure in sight, and the deep courtyard exudes a lonely spring atmosphere, which makes him particularly puzzled.

"Xiao Su, Sanniang!"

Li Xian called out tentatively, and found that no one answered at all, so he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he forgot what was polite and impolite, and took Huo Huaien straight inside. After passing through the empty corridor and several groundless courtyards, he finally came to the front yard of the study where Su Dingfang had entertained him for a drink, and finally heard the voice.

"I have already paid for those slaves and maids to be dismissed, counting this mansion and the two hundred acres of land outside Luoyang City, it can be exchanged for tens of thousands of yuan, even if I go back to Jizhou, I don't have to worry about money."

"Well, anyway, I haven't used much money, and I can't use these tens of thousands until I die."

"Auntie, tell me what you can't do, it's His Highness who brought you badly!"

"Sanniang!"

Hearing the sound of laughter and laughter coming from inside, Li Xian suddenly couldn't help but smile after his mood was tight. Telling Huo Huaien to look outside, he walked to the door of the study, and before the two bent fingers could knock on, a vigilant voice came from inside: "Who?" Then his fingers fell into the air, and the two doors opened before him at once, and the scene inside was clear.

The study was still full of books, but the one spread out on the table was not a book, it seemed to be an account book. When he saw him, Su Yu's face showed a hint of surprise, and he quickly reached out to close the book. Unexpectedly, Li Xian moved faster than her, and went up with an arrow to grab the book. It only took two flips for the expression on his face to become strange.

"You're cleaning up the industry, what, are you going to leave?"

"If you don't leave, will you live in Luoyang so unknowingly?" Lu Sanniang took over the conversation before Su Yu, but her face did not have the anger of the previous day, but a little more serious, "Your Highness, a woman is fifteen years old and married, this was originally a long-standing rule of my Tang Dynasty, and it is rare for Mrs. Daiguo to marry late, but Miss is now in her early twenties." ”

Seeing Su Yu's disapproving face, Lu Sanniang couldn't help but sigh for this girl who had grown up watching herself: "Of course, Miss is not afraid of people's words, but I don't want her to be pointed at behind her back." She goes back and forth to Xiuwenfang all day long, and never pays attention to the courtship of several nearby mansions, how can this gossip be less? After all, even if you keep filial piety for General Su for three years, it is already time. ”

Of course, Li Xian is not unaware of such a fact. In fact, he also tried to find an ideal partner for Su Yu according to Su Dingfang's instructions back then. But as a result, no matter who it is, he just doesn't like it when he looks left and right! He even deceived himself into believing that Li Jingye, Cheng Bohu, Xue Dingshan, and others were all already famous, and it was not easy for Luoyang City to find a young talent.

And, apart from a few people, how many people don't mind the age of a woman these days?

But at this time, he vaguely felt that these were not reasons. For him, there was only one reason, and it was the one he never wanted to admit. There is a saying that eating other people's mouths is short, taking other people's hands is short, and eating the benefits of eating others for so long, he is just greedy for the perfect cooking? , with his power and wealth, if he smashes it with 10,000 yuan, will he not be able to find a chef with the right taste?

He stepped forward, just facing Su Yu's beautiful side face, and saw that she was staring at the book, but her eyes were a little confused, and he knew that she was also a little nervous. At this time, he could even hear his heartbeat, and complained in his heart more than once that he was unproductive---- this is not the first time, why would he be so unlucky?

"Xiao Su, don't go back to Jizhou." The most important sentence was uttered, and Li Xianden calmed down, "I want you to stay, because I like you." It's not just the food you make, it's the dim sum you make, it's the people who like you. Although I already have Helan, Shen Ruo, Ah Yan, and Ah Luo, I am very greedy, and I still want to keep you. ”

Lu Sanniang on the side felt relieved at first, but then she had an urge to roll her eyes. But seeing that the flush on Su Yu's face had extended to the base of her neck, she felt that it was superfluous for her to intervene at this time, so she quietly took a few steps back and flashed out of the room, but did not close the door.

Although Li Xian's character in this regard seems to be good, in line with the principle of strict prevention, she still looks at the movement. If it weren't for her two-sided persecution, I am afraid that this Su Yu will never be able to succeed in his life.
