At the same time.

Lin You.

Ten Thousand Years Palace.

Great treasure apse.

Mei Niang watched Mu Niang, who had hugged Li Hong and gone to sleep in the back highness, to leave, and at the same time turned her head and looked at Li Zhi who was discussing with the German Award about what to do next:

"Isn't it too much?

After all, in today's old house, there is only this one Shen Shu left for Princess Han to use. ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said slowly:

"That's why I'm the only one left...... If it weren't for that, I was afraid that the good imperial uncle wouldn't be able to trust him for a while. ”

Mei Niang frowned:

"Why did Jiro say that?"

"Uncle Han's temperament is the opposite of mine."

Li Zhi said calmly:

"I am the one who can believe, the one who believes. But he is not, even if he is a believer, he will also be distracted. So there is no one around him who really trusts him. Everyone is holding each other back.

His way of employing people is just like a nine-in-a-row, interlocking, but it can be said that it is scattered and independent...... The leader can't know what the tail is, so that one link is broken, but the other links may not be lost......

This is where Uncle Han is clever, and it is also where he failed the most.

Because there is no one who can be fully trusted as the center, no matter how big his net is woven, it can only be gently torn in the end. ”

Li Zhi smiled faintly:

"Actually, Uncle Han himself knows this, so for so many years, what he is most anxious about is not how to pull me off the throne as soon as possible, but to cultivate a credible person like his uncle, or like Fang Xiang and Wei Zheng......

This is the most important thing for an emperor.

The so-called confidants must not only be loyal to their duties, but also allow the emperor to be able to entrust important tasks with confidence without worrying.

In the current situation, Shen Shu has already convinced Uncle Han of his loyalty.

But for a scheming person like Uncle Han, loyalty alone is not enough. ”

Mei Niang knows:

"Shen Shu wants to let King Han see his ability, just like the ability of the three first and auxiliary ministers, and at the same time, further let King Han know the loyalty commensurate with this ability, or even higher than this ability......

That's why Jiro turned Mei Niang's little plan into a big one...... Really? ”

Li Zhi smiled and stretched out his hand, gently shook her hand and said:

"Your original plan was good. Taking advantage of the opportunity to know that there are people outside the palace who are rebelling, give those people a chance to enter the palace, and then destroy it, and then buckle this pot on Uncle Han Wang's head, so that although he may not be able to take him down immediately, and it may not be able to hurt his vitality, but in the end, it will also add another shackle on his body, which is more secure.

But to deal with people like Uncle Han Wang, just adding a few shackles is not enough. He had to take the initiative to make himself fall into the trap, and he was brutally caught by the clip that caught the beast with several bloody wounds, causing him to lose his hands and feet, and hurt his vitality...... In this way, we can make him restrained, and we can really make him unable to move for a short time, so that we can finish the most urgent thing in front of us first, and don't let him add to the chaos. ”

Mei Niang nodded, and said lightly:

"That'...... Now that the game has been rolled out, what is Jiro going to do next? ”

"Naturally, it is a seer to see the inheritance of the house in order to explore its reality."

Li Zhi smiled mysteriously.

Mei Niang couldn't help but be stunned:

"See him? How do you see Jiro? With such a character, King Han must be secretly watched. It is that no one is watching, and if King Han knows that he has left his mansion for such a long time...... I'm afraid I can't be good. ”

Li Zhi looked at the virtue award who also smiled indifferently, but the master and apprentice smiled at each other and said nothing.

Seeing this, Mei Niang quietly raised her eyebrows:

"It seems that Mei Niang is too worried."

The next afternoon.

In the city of Chang'an.

City.

In a market where books are sold.

Under the wooden pole with Lee's signboard stands, a half-sized man who looks cowering and his eyes flicker. At first glance, he is not a good person.

That's why all the people who passed by him avoided it, so that they wouldn't get caught and lose anything.

Seeing that the people around him had such an attitude, this half-grown man naturally had a bad face, spat on the ground, but hummed and whispered:

"Wait for Lao Tzu to wear the official robe one day, and let you know what to do if you avoid the etiquette!"

When he said this, he naturally said it to himself, but there were people who did that good thing, or people who watched him take a step forward, frowned and glared at him:

"What the hell are you doing here?! I don't even look at which one of these doors (signboards) is, so I'm just mixed up here! Get lost! Hurry up and roll how far Lao Tzu is! ”

Although this half-sized person is small, his heart is high, and when he saw such humiliation, he naturally didn't follow it, so he jumped a few feet high and quarreled with the janitor who came forward to scold him.

And this quarrel is not noisy, the two children are young and vigorous, you see that I am a watchdog who can only bark in the thighs of the master, I see that you are a little thief who has no good intentions, so I don't agree with each other, and I actually fight in the street.

There are many people coming and going, so naturally there is no reason to watch it, and now the national law is very strict, and fighting in the street is a big crime, so people with good deeds immediately went to call the street patrol guards to get people.

Among these two children, the half-grown boy is also a wise man, knowing that although the concierge boy can't get out of this bookstore, once he is caught, he will definitely be taken, but he is also in a worse situation-

First, he did have some unclean places on his body, and secondly, he really took a few unclean things in his hands now, so he smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and slipped away when he saw that it was good, leaving only the porter boy to jump his feet and scold the figure that there was only a cigarette left in that moment, and seeing that the street patrol guard had arrived, he hurriedly flashed people into the workshop, so as not to cause trouble and alarm the owner, and lose a beautiful leisure in vain.

So, when the guards with swords arrived, the calm and bustle of the place had been restored, but there was no longer the slightest uneasiness in the scene.

It seems that from the very beginning, there were only people reading and buying books, and there were no fights.

In such a situation, those guards naturally understood what was going on, so they knocked on the door, and it was naturally the porter boy who answered the door, so they tried their best to shirk it, saying that there was no such thing here.

When I asked those old booksellers again, I also felt that the matter was not big, the two children had a fight, and they had the heart to make friends with this porter boy, and when they came to get some books in the future, they could give some Runli so they all echoed his words, that is, those who were honest and unwilling to echo were also silent, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Although the guards knew in their hearts that something must have happened, they were not good enough to force them to take people. But if you don't take people, you're afraid that there will be any more trouble.

After all, this private fight on the street can be said to be big or big, small or small, and these are two and a half old children, it is when the blood is strong, and the heart is very high, and it is the most impulsive to act.

If there is a lawsuit for the life of a person because of today's incident, then these people will suffer inexhaustibly.

So I discussed, thinking that there was nothing important in the West Market today, so I simply left only two brothers to patrol back and forth as a precaution, and the remaining dozen or so brothers all sat in the tea shop opposite the bookstore, and ordered some tea and oil fruits on one wall to rest, moisten the throat, and fill the stomach.

On the other wall, I only stared at this Li bookstore.

Seeing this, the porter boy knew that something bad was wrong, thought about it, hesitated for a while, and finally sighed, and had to go back to his master.

A moment later.

The inner courtyard of Lee's Bookstore.

is arranging for the Mo Lang (the name of the craftsman who printed the book) to proofread today's new books one by one, and then take them to print the sample manuscript first, and then send it to the company to be tested, and then print it after adding the quasi-print, Li Laoer, the owner of the Li Bookstore, when he heard the return of the porter boy's disgraced face, he couldn't wait to kick him to death:

"You bastard! It's going to get into trouble every day! Something like that, what are you provoking him to do?! He's going to stand there and watch the door, and you're going to have to see it! What to provoke him?! What to provoke him?! ”

After taking a few kicks in a row, the porter boy couldn't help crying with a sad face, and said in a mixed manner:

"But the little one looked at him with the intention of stealing that trick...... Didn't you also say that the palm ink (the nickname of the bookstore owner)? In these days, there are many shops on our street who have lost their door tricks, and finally have to spend money to redeem them......

The little thing is to see that this kid seems to have stopped in front of those stores that have lost their doors, so he cares about it. Otherwise, such a lazy man is like a flower, and the little one really doesn't want to provoke him......

Such a person who is too lazy to even go to the right place to eat, no matter how useless the little one is, is also a different person from him......"

This is true, Li Lao Er also understands, after all, in this world, although the new emperor has only succeeded to the throne for a few years, and he has been listening to those officials and scholars who come to buy books say that he is cowardly and incompetent and greedy for women, but as the old villagers said, the color on the book is not as good as the bowl in one hand - look at the current world, it is considered better, and you know that the new emperor is actually not weak, and the wise and gentle first emperor is a little. Even compared to the former emperor who liked to fight in the town and liked to talk about pomp and circumstance, this new emperor was much more real. Although it is inevitable that foreign countries will come to the court, the new emperor always gives these accompanying foreign traders the opportunity to communicate with the people, but unlike the old emperor, he always stares at those foreign merchants as if they were meticulous, for fear that they will come to deal with internal rebellion......

It's a bit far, but to be honest, this kind of peaceful world has been a long time, so everyone thinks that being able to support themselves is actually not a big deal, but those who don't even want to do the light work of handing over tea to the door, and would rather go to those lazy people and lay on the street begging for money, are all looked down upon by everyone.

Although this porter boy is young and always thinks highly of himself on weekdays, he is really a diligent person, and naturally he doesn't look down on this kind. So it seems that this time, he really blocked a disaster for himself - after all, the door move is easy to do, but if you redo the door move, you have to run another company. Although it doesn't cost much money, the procedures are very painful......

Thinking of this, Li Laoer's anger also disappeared, and he just glared at him and said:

"Then what do you say? Right now, our sample book is coming out soon, and those big people are urging them again, and they can't delay the time to send it for printing......"

The concierge boy thought about it for a while, but suddenly his eyes lit up and said:

"Then let the little one send it? Left and right small troubles, if those guards watched the small ones run away to Yousi, they would probably follow. ”

Li Lao Er thought about it for a while, but also nodded:

"That's all it can be."

So a moment later, I saw the boy hurrying out of the main gate with a book in his hand, and after pretending to glance at the guards casually, he hurried towards Suzaku Street.

The guards followed as he expected. Li Lao Er stood at the door, looking at this situation, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, turned around and was about to go inside, when he suddenly heard a male voice sound:

"Palm ink, do you have any new poetry in your workshop? To add Zhu Criticism (that is, the version of the emperor's imperial pen personal approval, since the Jin Dynasty, there is a saying that every emperor will personally Zhu Criticism of some ancient masterpieces after ascending the throne, and then use it as a model for new books in the world. The Book of Poetry is a kind of criticism that every emperor will have. ”

Li Lao Er stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man standing at the bottom of the stairs with a smile, and only laughed after a while did he shake his head:

"Zhu Pi such a thing, we can't print it here, such a noble edition, if it is not for the Holy Grace edict of the world, let alone a small fang, or any of the eighteen books in the world, no one dares to print it! If the son is in a hurry, he should go to the official bookstore to find it. Or you can get one or two. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile:

"If it's a new batch today, it's naturally unwanted. After all, it's only been half a year since the new batch came down, not to mention that although I'm not talented, I still have such a new batch in my hand......

In fact, what I want is a copy of the Emperor's Grace in your old collection...... I don't know if your master can cut his love, and is willing to take the first emperor's favor and exchange it for a new one? ”

As the middle-aged man spoke, he smiled and took out a book from his arms and folded it, and handed it to Li Lao Er, whose face was so flat that he could hardly see any expression.

Li Lao Er took it, opened it, only glanced at it, and then stared widely, and then looked up at the middle-aged man suddenly, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a while. The whole body trembled.

The middle-aged man said with a smile:

"Zhangmo, anyway, I also have the same surname as your family, and I also have a lot of relationship with your old master. If you think about the things in the Western Regions back then, it can be regarded as the blessing of your old master...... Please be accommodating, report my name to your new master, and see if he is willing or not! ”

Li Lao Er took a deep breath and looked directly at the middle-aged man:

"Your surname is Li, so the name ......"

"Virtue, prize."

Li Laoer's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and let the man enter the hospital:

"But there is really no need to inform the master. If the second son of Wei Guogong came with an edict with His Majesty's seal, the little one would still be here to push three or four ......

That's called a great rebellion!

It's just a big sin not to kneel when you see the seal! Please forgive General Lee! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Lao Er was about to kneel, but was helped up by Li Decheng with a smile:

"It doesn't matter, the Lord came here with the virtue award this time, because he knew that your team had worked hard to hide it for many years, and the previous incident had alarmed King Han somewhat, so he tried his best to divert those eyeliner in front of the door......

The award has been given before the holy will, everything is simple, and it is possible to use one's own discretion. ”

"Sure enough...... The previous incident was fake news released by His Majesty, right? ”

A voice came from inside the house, and the next one who came out was Shen Shu, the head of King Han's Mansion.

At this moment, on his calm and resolute face, a trace of emotion and relief surfaced:

"If the master in the spirit of heaven knew that His Majesty was so clever and took such care of Shen Shu, he would be willing to make such a big fight to protect a little Shen Shu......

That must be joy and thanksgiving! ”

Li Decheng raised his eyebrows with some surprise and looked at Shen Shu:

"It turns out that the foot has long known about this assassination, but the lord deliberately did it in order to divert King Han's gaze from staring at the foot?"

Shen Shu smiled faintly, but did not speak immediately.
