I wanted to cry and watch everyone go away without tears, and my heart was cold.

Lao Tzu kindly invited you to have a meal, you put Lao Tzu on the fire to roast, you must know that Lao Tzu will not bring so much wine, so that you Li Shimin has nothing to do with alcohol and bragging.

"Do you know what it means to be an official? Lao Du said to Du Ruhui with a bitter face.

"I don't know".

"It's just to realize the that the emperor once bragged about."

"Haha..., but my old Du sees how you build this road out, now you know better than me the amount of money in the Datang treasury, I believe you can make something out of nothing" Du Ruhui also walked away with his hands behind his back.

Within five days, Ji Chun arrived at the Ministry of Civil Affairs with the holy decree, and when he saw Ji Chun coming in again, Xiao Zheng closed the door first, looked at him and gritted his teeth and said: "If you detain Lao Tzu Yulu again, if I don't beat you out of the roof, I won't be surnamed Xiao."

"Grandpa Guo, this time is a good thing" Ji Chun said with a smile, and opened the idea of appointing Xiao Zheng to be a waiter in the Ministry of Works.

"Why don't the three provinces stop it? In this case, Lao Tzu should not be an official," he asked Du Ruhui with the holy decree.

"Stopping you? Although your reputation is not very good, your talent is well-known, and generally as long as it is not too much, no one will stand in your way," Du Ruhui explained.

"But let's say okay, you can see clearly that now you are only serving as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and you are still in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, don't rush over there" Du Ruhui reminded a little nervously, he was also afraid that the God of Wealth would run away.

"Don't worry, how can we be comfortable in that place in the Ministry of Industry" Xiao Zheng also understood his thoughts.

"But what is Lao Tzu, a civil servant and a ministry attendant, Erlang God?"

The report also went to meet Shangguan, but fortunately, the office of the Ministry of Industry was not far from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and when I walked over, I saw Li Daliang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, kneeling in front of the desk and writing.

"Xia Guan has seen Li Shangshu", the number of etiquette that should be there, Xiao Zheng did not dare to slack off.

"Okay, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and they are all acquaintances, so you don't need to be so polite, but the old man wants to thank you for your contribution to the people of Jingyang,"

Xiao Zheng was very surprised when he said this, and when he asked Li Daliang, he learned that his ancestors were from Jingyang, and his family was also a big family in the local area.

So that's the case, so you're welcome. When the two were talking, they found that Li Daliang's face was a little flushed and coughed from time to time, so Li Daliang stretched out his hand and began to diagnose his pulse.

"Li Shangshu's wind and heat enter the body, fortunately, the problem is not big, but you have entered the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and the heart pulse is uneven and needs to be slowly recuperated, two pairs of medicines, one pair to go to the wind and heat, and the other pair is to take the Baizi Yangxin Soup for half a month and then adjust the prescription." After speaking, he handed over two prescriptions.

Li Daliang was not polite, took the prescription and said with a smile: "The old man is waiting for you to come over to treat this disease, the prescription prescribed by your divine doctor who can take the child by disembowelment will definitely work."

After seeing the doctor, Li Daliang called the main officials of the Ministry of Industry over, and after everyone got to know each other, he said: "Before appointing you, the sage looked for the old man, and you are mainly for the official road from Luoyang to Chang'an this time, which is the largest project that the Ministry of Industry has taken over since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the others are easy to do, but the money and materials required for this project are also mediated by you in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, otherwise it is really difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice."

Sure enough, people are old and sophisticated, Li Daliang spoke in a word. Damn, if I have money in my hand, why would I be so worried?

At noon the next day, as soon as Du Ruhui entered the door, he said to Xiao Zheng: "The matter of building the road is going to be yellow, you official has been picked in vain, and your kid has escaped a catastrophe."

It turned out that Li Shimin brought up this matter at the court meeting, and all the courtiers stood up to oppose it, the reasons were mixed, the three provinces were afraid of large-scale requisition and labor and repeat the mistakes of the Sui Grand Canal, Xiao Yu and Wei Zong's reason was that the treasury was empty, and they should follow the example of the Han Dynasty when they were in the Wenjing to rest and recuperate and wait for the national strength to be full before moving, and Feng Deyi and other officials were the land of the dragon vein.

Anyway, depending on what you Li Shimin said, the courtiers just twisted into a force, no matter what the reason was, they just disagreed, and forcibly pouted the emperor's opinion back.

"I don't think I don't want to repair, it should be a ghost, right, if the opinion of the three provinces is for the country and the people, the other two parties are a bit nonsense, Luoyang is the territory of the Xiao family and the Wei family, how to repair the road smoothly, after the control of the court is strengthened, the two families' right to speak will be weak, hurting the interests of his family, how can they agree. And Feng Deyi and the others are the pawns of the two families, and they can't find a suitable reason, so they have to use the dragon vein to prevaricate the saint," Xiao Zheng said to Du Ruhui.

"It's rare that the two of you have such insight," Li Shimin pushed the door and walked in.

After coming in, he sat on the chair, drank the tea sent over, wiped his mouth, and said: "Damn, I also admit that the three provinces have come back to me, what kind of bullshit reason are other people looking for, building a road is like digging their ancestral graves, and it is so difficult for me to build a road?" ”

Looking at Li Shimin's somewhat lonely expression, Xiao Zheng said cautiously: "Maybe there are other ways, the minister hasn't thought about it all yet, but I want to ask the sage for your support."

"Qing didn't lie to me?" Li Shimin stood up and asked a little excitedly.

"The minister doesn't dare to bully the king, the minister is thinking of a new mode of operation, and after the minister thinks about it, the minister will report to you, the key is to block the mouths of those people first."

"Okay, as long as you Xiao Qing can come up with a way, I will fully support you. After chatting with Sun Laohan at that time, it was not that I was drunk and lost my words, but that I couldn't bear to disappoint all the people of the world like Sun Laohan, you must help me, my study is tattered and leaky, and it can not be repaired, but the two Qing families must think about this road" Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui and Xiao Zheng with eager eyes and said.

Li Shimin said that there was no way to refuse like this, and the two got up and bowed deeply to Li Shimin and said: "Please rest assured, the saint will not give up until he dies."

Early in the morning, I took a few family members to go straight to the Yuxuan Temple in the east of the city, and there were many people who saw the incense in Yuxuan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the incense was at its peak.

At the beginning of the year, Li Shimin used Taoism to recognize his ancestor Taishang Laojun, and reciprocated Li with a peach and established Taoism as the state religion.

Entering the Dao, he saw a Taoist priest of the same age as himself, this Taoist priest was very surprised when he saw Xiao Zheng, and before the Taoist priest could speak, Xiao Zheng went over and said to him: "Immortal Chief, may I ask Wang Yuan if the Lord Wang is not there?" ”

"Amitayus Buddha, the donor's face is good and strange, can you allow the path to take a hexagram for the donor?" the Taoist priest answered.

"I'm asking you if Wang Laodao is there, but you want to cheat Lao Tzu out of money, you quickly tell me where Wang Laodao is?" Xiao Zheng asked a little impatiently.

"Oh, Wang Xianchang is in the apse for the time being, and the small way will give you face divination without money," the Taoist priest said with a wink.

"Thank you very much," said the man, and walked towards the apse.

"Hey, donor, Poor Dao said that Wang Xian is participating in Zen, and the idle people can't be disturbed, so it's better to give you a hexagram" This guy stood in front of the door of the apse and stretched out his arms to stop Xiao Zheng and said.

"Do you think I'm so idle? Get out of the way! Stop me again, I'll beat you! Stretching out his hand, he pulled the Taoist priest aside, pushed the door and prepared to enter.

"Don't come to the land of Sanqing, come here!" The Taoist priest was a little anxious.

"Poor Dao is in the back of the meditation, and suddenly I feel the nobility rushing to my face, it turns out that Xiao Gong is here" Wang Yuanzhi and another Taoist priest walked over.

At this time, the Taoist priest next to Wang Yuanzhi said to the young man who was stopping Xiao Zheng and the others: "Tiangang, don't make a mistake, this is Lord Xiao, the Duke of Yuguo of the Tang Dynasty!" Poor Yuan Shoucheng has seen Xiao Gong, this is under his nephew Yuan Tiangang, please forgive Xiao Gong for his rude behavior."

"Who?!"
