Wu Mei asked Banmei to hold the sleeping Taiping Princess Li Lingyue, and then slowly left the East Palace, as Li Yifu of the Taibao, and sent the queen to Hua Meng and Mangzhong who were instructed by Li Hong.

Just after taking two steps, Wu Mei suddenly turned her head to look at the side of the east wall of the East Palace, and said, "What are you going to do with such a large place?" Also, is Changle Fang really not going to ask for it? ”

"No one lives in Changle Fang, and the Taiping Mansion will be in King Pu's Mansion in the future, and the current Changle Fang and this large area will be transformed." Li Hong said with a smile.

"You can do it, I hope your father will agree to your decision." Wu Mei shook her head, now everyone knows Li Hong's thoughts, this kid only has the seat of Shang Shuling in his eyes now.

And she doesn't hope that Li Hong can succeed Li Shimin and become the second Shangshu Order of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, whatever he Li Hong does now is not at all a Jingzhao Mansion Yin, let alone a matter of the rights and responsibilities of a household department Shangshu, it is completely the right that a Shangshu Provincial Governor Shangshu should exercise.

Watching the queen mother leave, Li Hong continued to sit there and prepare to fish, and Xu Jingzong next to him, with the assistance of his grandson Xu Yanbo, took a fishing rod, sat down with Li Hong, and began to fish.

"What else? My queen mother actually invited you over because of tomorrow's court affairs. Say, what's the matter, you have never suffered a loss, after helping me with advice, there must be something waiting for me to help you. Li Hong stared at the water and said lightly.

Xu Jingzong shook his head with a wry smile, and asked him to do something once, although he said that he was selfish, but in the end, he was not rectified very miserably by His Royal Highness the Prince?

"Your Highness, even if the old minister doesn't analyze tomorrow's court today, he will ask you for something." After Xu Jingzong's fishing rod was put into the water, he stopped looking at it, and kept staring at Li Hong's side face.

"What's the matter? I can't do it beyond the scope of my authority, by the way, should I call you Xu Banchao, I only found out during this period of time that you still have so many recommended people above the court. Li Hong has always been as hard as iron for Xu Jingzong, and he knows that otherwise, it is very likely that he will unknowingly fall into the Tao of Xu Jingzong, a big yin person.

Xu Jingzong could only smile bitterly and said: "Your Highness, the minister knows that you plan to go to the Western Regions, not for anything else, the minister only hopes that when you travel to the Western Regions, you can take Xu Yanbo with you." ”

At the end, Xu Jingzong's face was full of solemnity.

"Why do you want him to go to the Western Regions with me?" Li Hong's fishing level is not very good, he had Li Zhi and Wu Mei at the beginning, and sat in the Taiye Pond for a morning, and the three of them caught a total of two fish.

But I don't know what's going on today, this fish is like waiting in line to be hooked, one after a while.

Xu Yanbo looked at the fishing rod raised by Li Hong, hurriedly grabbed the fishing line, and began to untie the lively fish on the hook.

"Some selfishness, the minister followed the emperor back then, and then got His Majesty's holy grace, and now the minister is old, but the children of the Xu family want to continue to serve the royal family, not only have to be loyal, but also have the ability. Now that Uncle Yan has enough knowledge and not enough experience, the minister selfishly hopes that His Royal Highness can take him to experience and have more opportunities to learn by your side, so that it is the blessing that he has cultivated. Xu Jingzong's fishing rod was almost taken away by the fish, but Xu Jingzong held the rod and didn't move, just watching the fish under the surface of the water struggle.

Li Hong looked at Xu Yanbo helping him hang the bait on the hook, threw the hook into the water again, and said: "You are a smart person, you know the purpose of my trip to the four towns of Anxi, so this trip will not be as easy as I went to Taiyi City. Are you mentally prepared? In case you go out with me and come back and give you a pile of bones, can you be willing? ”

"Your Highness, the minister has long put life and death out of the way, as long as he can follow His Highness, even if he dies in the Western Regions, it will be a blessing for the minister." Xu Yanbo respectfully stood aside and interjected to Li Hong in time.

Li Hong looked at Xu Yanbo's cheeks, smiled and nodded to signal him to step back, how could he not know Xu Jingzong's thoughts?

In order to ensure the continuity of the family and ensure that the family can be among the wealthy families, it is not enough for him Xu Jingzong to be a prime minister, but he needs future generations to be able to become close to the royal family, so that his family can flourish and be able to sit on an equal footing with the real wealthy family.

So for Xu Jingzong, sacrificing a grandson is nothing at all? The royal family is full of ruthlessness, but there are also people who are not, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a man of temperament.

At that time, even if Xu Yanbo dies in the Western Regions, the prince will definitely not turn a blind eye to the decline of the Xu family, and his other grandsons may step on Xu Yanbo's bones and go to the peak of his career, and he cannot become the prime minister who enters the council hall, but it is not impossible for one party to stab history.

In this way, sacrificing a person and then exchanging the favor of the royal family, no matter how this account is calculated, for the prosperity of the family, as the descendants of the Xu family, you must have this consciousness.

"Okay, I'll agree to this for the time being. You are faster than Dai Zhide to realize and know the true meaning of the times to create heroes, instead of being pedantic like him and abiding by tradition and not knowing innovation. Li Hong nodded, and continued to ask Xu Yanbo to help him pick the fish on the hook.

"Your Highness." Xu Jingzong and his grandson Xu Yanbo thanked happily at the same time.

"It's too early to say thank you, whether you can achieve a career in the Western Regions depends on yourself, if you follow me in the Western Regions, you are not the piece of material I want, and I will not hesitate to send you back to Chang'an." But then again, I provided you with the platform, whether it is a mule or a horse, it depends on your own talent and hard work. Li Hong threw down the fishing rod in his hand, took the towel handed by Xia Zhi and wiped his hands.

Then looked at Xu Jingzong, who also stood up, and said angrily: "Take it out, don't hide it, Xu Banchao." ”

Xu Jingzong could only smile bitterly, this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really getting smarter and smarter, just like he knows him, he also knows himself.

"Your Royal Highness's words are serious, if the minister was Xu Banchao, I am afraid that he would have been imprisoned in Dali Temple by His Royal Highness a long time ago, so there is still leisure to accompany you to fish here?" Xu Jingzong said as he took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Li Hong.

Li Hong took the pamphlet and flipped through it, and slowly walked towards the Chengen Hall of the dormitory.

Xu Jingzong's explanation voice came from his ears: "These ministers have not faked, and they have not even added a word, they are all dictated by the parties, including those bribes, which have been confirmed." ”

Xu Jingzong also knew that this pamphlet about Dai Zhide was the reason why His Highness called himself.

Moreover, he did not wonder why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew who he was looking for, what he talked about, and how he could get evidence of Dai Zhide's secret dealings with the Wa Kingdom.

"It's good if it's true, if it's half a sentence, if I am slapped in the face in the court tomorrow, you just wait for the whole family to enter Dali Temple." Li Hong looked at it casually, and then handed it to Bai Chun next to him.

After returning to the dormitory, Xu Jingzong and Xu Yanbo also said goodbye, sitting on the sofa, Li Hong looked at the pamphlet carefully, and Bai Chun's 'Jingwei' investigation was different, Xu Jingzong's pamphlet had more people who planned to speak for Dai Zhide in the court tomorrow.

"One night, check whether these people are really connected to Dai Zhide, whether they are connected to the same state of Wa. Xu Jingzong has been away from the court for many years, but his influence is not comparable to your 'Jingwei'. It seems that 'Jingwei' still has drawbacks. Li Hong helplessly patted the booklet in his hand and said.

Officialdom matters, especially the protection of officials and officials, 'Jingwei' can't be completely supervised, unless 'Jingwei' is allowed to absorb the courtiers above the court, but this is absolutely not okay, and he is the first to oppose it.

If the court officials are absorbed, the nature of the 'Jingwei' organization will change.

Yu Shi Tai said something, but he didn't have a good relationship with himself, and he thought that there was a lot of information here, and it was probably provided to Xu Jingzong by Yu Shi Tai.

Bai Chun looked at the two pamphlets, frowned on his snow-white forehead, and said: "Compared with the two, Xu Jingzong is more of an exchange between officials, and 'Jingwei' is good at mediating and moving around the envoys of the Japanese State. ”

"Yes, so I don't blame you for this, it's that I'm too demanding, and I can't let you do the affairs of Yushitai, so that 'Jingwei' will deteriorate, and if you let it develop, it will be uncontrollable. That's it, in the future, try to put your energy on the four towns of Tubo and Anxi, cheetahs and stings, and sharing intelligence with Yangwu, sometimes it will hinder a lot of things, so you need your 'Jingwei' to make up for it." ”

"Yes, Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao have taken away two-thirds of the 'Jingwei', and they have communicated with the 'Iron Floating Massacre' you built a few times, and they are basically smooth, and they can cope with the communication in the vast Western Regions." Bai Chun said lightly.

"That's good, 'Tiefutu' will set off with me when the time comes, the left and right clearing rates will stay in Taiyi City, and the East Palace will also be demolished, so I will take the rest of the six rates except for the left and right clearing rates." At this moment, there were only him and Bai Chun in the living room, and the two looked at the sunset and said lightly.

"How long are you going to go?" Hearing Li Hong's words, the sensitive Bai Chun turned around quickly, staring at Li Hong's clear eyes motionlessly.

"I don't know, a year or two? Maybe three or four years. Now everyone thinks that I am just going for meritorious service, just for the position of Shang Shuling. But no one knows, I want to solve the problem of the four towns of Anxi once and for all, and if I don't solve it, when the capital protects the government and changes the Jiedu envoy, and the military power and local jurisdiction are integrated in the Jiedu envoy, it will be even more difficult to change it. Li Hong looked out the window, the sunset in the East Palace, which was originally low, was no longer visible at the moment.
