The agreed hour is from the early afternoon. But Li Zhi had just had lunch, so he waited in the study.

casually looked at Li Zhi, who was taking Qinghe Li Zhi with Qinghe Lizhi, and kept looking at the timepiece beside him.

In the end, Dean couldn't stand it anymore, put down the cicada wing knife (a very sharp knife, thin and thin, as thin and small as a cicada wing) for cutting paper, and said:

"Your Highness, why don't you go and rest for a while! At this time, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and Sister Wu and their side were just afraid that they were still busy sealing those calendar days! Even the fat and fat bath beans haven't been divided yet!

These days, you are in charge of military affairs, and you accompany the lord to bed at night, and often get up in the middle of the night to serve the lord with soup, medicine and tea......

How can you stand it if it goes on like this? ”

De'an's words are not false. In the past few days, Li Zhi was really in Taizong's dormitory, only three steps on the side of the dragon couch, and put a soft couch and a desk, where he reported the political affairs and the recent battle against Goryeo to Taizong during the day to comfort his heart. At night, he slept on the soft couch, so that when Taizong needed to drink medicinal tea at night, it was convenient to serve.

This matter is known both inside and outside, although it caused everyone to sigh at the prince's filial piety. But De'an knew that Li Zhi really just thought about Taizong and didn't seek fame......

That's why he was worried about Li Zhi's body - after all, because of the Chengqian, Li Zhi was sad and couldn't go down to Taizong.

But Li Zhi only shook his hand and said:

"It's okay, I'll wait for Minghe to report and see what's going on—that noble concubine is so concerned about my East Palace...... It's really rare. ”

When Dean saw this, he could only sigh.

Fortunately, Minghe came back soon and reported back:

"Your Highness, it has been ascertained."

When Li Zhi heard this, he perked up and said:

"Say."

"Your Highness......"

Minghe stepped forward, attached to Li Zhi's ear, and muttered for a long time.

De'an looked at it, and saw that Li Zhi's complexion was getting heavier and heavier, and finally turned into an iron blue, and he couldn't help but stop moving in his hands.

After Minghe finished speaking, Li Zhi was furious, flicked his sleeves and threw off the teacup in front of him, and said with a bang:

"That Xiao family's cheap maid dares to deceive the palace so far!!

Death?! ”

Seeing this, Dean hurriedly stepped forward to ask. Ming He told De'an that the Xiao family next to Concubine Wei was the one who recommended Xiao Liangdi to enter the East Palace, and said angrily:

"Then the Xiao family is really dead, and they are trying to use Xiao Liangdi to control our East Palace!"

De'an also changed color when he heard this, and said to Li Zhi after a long time:

"Your Royal Highness, if it weren't for the intention of the noble concubine, it would not be feasible...... That's why I'm afraid that this time it's still a concubine ......."

Li Zhi stretched out his hand to stop him, and said coldly:

"The scheming city of the noble mother is indeed one of the most unpredictable among the four concubines, but this time, it may not be her - most of them are still the Xiao family's cheap maids, thinking that taking this opportunity is the right thing to do with the dragon and the phoenix.

It's okay, but it's not a big deal in the first place...... But she dared to point out the matter of Mei Niang......"

Li Zhi had a gloomy face: "Then she is at the end." ”

De'an thought for a while and said worriedly: "But after all, she is the person next to Wei Guifei, we are easy, but we can't move her ......."

Li Zhi sneered: "Although the noble concubine said it, it is true that she has never hurt me anything...... But I don't have that good nature, and I talk a lot to this......"

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "De'an, you come." ”

Then, he attached himself to De'an's ear and whispered a few words.

De'an was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't bother his mouth for a long time, and then he said, "If you ...... If this plan can be successful, then Sister Wu can really take it seriously......

It's just that...... It's just ......" was just for a while, and Dean thought about it and laughed again:

"Not bad! No better! He will definitely help His Highness! Dean is going! ”

Li Zhi relieved his face and nodded. After watching De'an leave, he summoned Qing and Minghe to come forward and told them that they must keep an eye on Wei Guifei in the past two days, and they must not let the Xiao family go.

Minghe said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the Xiao family is also afraid of death." ”

Li Zhi nodded silently, then felt tired again and fell asleep.

An hour later.

De'an, who had already made all the arrangements, reported to Li Zhi, and Dao had already sent a fast horse to summon him. Li Zhi nodded.

After a while, Mei Niang carried Ryan and arrived.

Li Zhi saw Mei Niang, and he didn't know how much joy he had in his heart, but Mei Niang's expression was solemn and polite, no matter how much he thought about it, he could only hold it all.

So, according to the routine, Li Zhi first invited Taizong to the will, and then turned around, and the case was a few steps below the jade case used by Taizong in his daily life, and he held Taizong's jade pen Zihao, and the word "edict" was sealed on behalf of Taizong's book. (The "edict" word seal here is to be distributed to the officials outside the gift box, to paste a big one, with gold dust mixed with - PS, the gold dust here is not really gold at the end of the end I don't know, only know that there is this thing, shiny - special ink written, there is the emperor's year name table date, the end of the "edict" word settlement, the red paper that had just been developed at that time, called red paper or Zhu paper, to show that it is the emperor's personal seal of things, very solemn.) Under normal circumstances, it is written by Taizong himself. But now that Taizong is sick, then according to the ceremony, after the prince Li Zhi invited Taizong's intentions, he can set up a case under Taizong's jade case and write it on behalf of Taizong. ）

Mei Niang stood on one side, busy grinding ink and adding gold, so that the inkstone pond would not dry up and it would be easy to write.

Li Zhi smelled the faint fragrance on Mei Niang's body, and he was really tender in his heart, and he was extremely comfortable, so he took a break in the middle of the pen, smiled softly, and said softly:

"What incense? So far, it's elegant. ”

Mei Niang lowered her head, as if she hadn't heard of it, she only concentrated on studying the ink, and only said after a while:

"It's just a few pots of peonies in front of the hall, which opened at an unknown time, Mei Niang watched them freeze pitifully, and she couldn't bear it, so she moved into the hall...... Who knows that it is dyed with some fragrance. ”

Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard that she was willing to talk to him, and his voice became softer:

"So, if I want to do that, I'll also go and find a few pots of peonies?"

Mei Niang still didn't raise her head, and said lightly:

"Those pots are thank you early, how can you find a few more pots of peonies in the middle of winter?"

When Li Zhi heard this, he wrote down the matter in his heart, and saw that she had already filled the inkstone pool, so he hurriedly dipped his pen again and waved his pen.

One hundred and ten "edict" envelopes are not a few, but they are not written for half a day.

However, Li Zhi deliberately dragged it, and he couldn't bear Mei Niang's constant grinding of ink, worried that her arms would be sore, or that a pair of jade hands would have some blisters. Moreover, he selfishly wanted to be a long-term companion of Mei Niang, so he did everything he could, and refused to finish writing obediently:

threw away the pen for a while and shouted that his hands were sore, and asked De'an to rub it; At one time, he pushed the paper again, said that he was thirsty, and asked De'an to serve tea; For a while, he stroked his mid-abdomen and shouted hunger, and shouted for De'an to have some snacks; For a while, he felt that the spices in the stove next to him were not light, and the smoke made him dizzy......

Finding fault in every way, not in every way.

As a result, I saw a group of people waiting for him: Mei Niang had to stop every now and then, and she was considered to have rested, but she only suffered De'an, but she was made to spin like a spinning top, and she couldn't rest for a moment.

In the end, Mei Niang really couldn't stand it, and said coldly, "If His Royal Highness is really so hard, it is obvious that Mei Niang is not serving properly, and it would be better if he replaced someone else to serve", bluffing Li Zhi into obedience immediately, and secretly resented himself in his heart, blaming Mei Niang for relying on him to be infatuated with her, and he was so willful, I don't know that he has good intentions; Yibi also had to put a smiling face on the wall and write carefully, so as not to make her angry again.

Seeing this, Ryan inevitably had some schadenfreude, so he was killed by Li Zhi with a knife in the eye, and immediately smiled, standing like a wooden man.

Dean shook his head and smiled bitterly.

……

It wasn't until near the night that Li Zhi saw that he couldn't drag it out any longer, so he had to reluctantly finish writing the last pardon letter before asking:

"I haven't played against each other for a long time, I don't know ...... today"

"Everything is done, and I ask His Royal Highness to allow Mei Niang to retire - Mei Niang is really tired."

Mei Niang didn't wait for him to finish, so she intercepted him.

Li Zhi gritted his teeth, and only after a while did he squeeze a smile and said, "Since this is the case, then ...... Go back and rest early! ”

After seeing her leave, Li Zhi turned around, and there was nowhere to get out of his anger. was looking for something not to vent his anger, but he saw De'an deliver a small letter in time.

After reading it, Li Zhi sneered: "Okay! Now, it finally made me vent my bad anger! ”

When De'an heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat on his head-fortunately, this letter came in time, otherwise I was afraid that today, Li Zhi would have to make trouble for a long time-

Li Zhi is not easily angry with others, and whenever he is angry, he just can't get along with himself. Seeing him like this, De'an, who has followed him for so long, always dislikes it in his heart.

Therefore, De'an pushed the man out to suffer, although he felt a little uneasy, but after all, he still thought of Li Zhi.

The eighteenth day of the first month of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan.

On the first day of Taizong's early dynasty, there was a report from Pegasus that because of the shallow water of Cao Canal in winter, 600 rice and grain ships ran aground on the side of Lu Sitai.

Taizong was furious when he heard this, and he ordered a strict investigation, what the hell was the reason.

……

Afternoon.

The crown prince Li Zhi stood on the side, watching Taizong's face gradually become iron blue after reading the secret table, and his heart was a little relieved for a while. So he looked under the jade steps.

The eldest grandson Wuji stood quietly under the jade steps, followed by Fang Xuanling, Yu Suiliang, Ma Zhou and others.

After a long time, Taizong angrily slapped the secret table on the case, and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a blue face:

"Who gave this watch?"

The eldest grandson Wuji held the jade gui in his hand, and said with a salute:

"Enlightening the Lord, when the old minister received this watch, the man was already far away, and he was never seen again. The old minister is sending someone to ascertain the identity of this person, so as to verify the authenticity of what is played in the secret table......"

"Not necessarily."

Taizong Tie blushed and said:

"After so many years, I know what Wei Ting's temperament is. What is in this table...... He can do it! ”

After a while, Taizong gritted his teeth and said:

"I only hate him for being so bold and daring to delay the military plane so !!"

Seeing that Taizong was angry, the ministers were inconvenient to speak for a while, and only the crown prince Li Zhi thought about it for a long time before he stepped forward and said:

"Father, Lord Wei has always been able to do things, this time he is only worried about the cold and snow in the north, it is inconvenient to transport it again, and the silting of the canal is not a matter of one day, I am afraid that it is not good for the boat, so I will unload the rice and grain and store it on the side of the platform to wait for the spring solstice ice to melt, the snow melts and the water boils, and the water flow is feasible when the boat is feasible, and then the ferry is carried out?"
