Looking at some of the new species placed in the room and in the baggage, and then looking at the thick silver ticket held by Hua Meng in his hand, Li Hong sighed and said: "It's really generous, you, for the new species of the Tang Dynasty, you are really willing to spend money." ”

Pinching the delicate chin of the princess of Dalai, looking at Ruyu's cheeks full of unwillingness and frustration, Li Hong's mood was indescribably happy.

"For the sake of this little money, you have forgotten even the most basic reason of being a human being, do you know what kind of behavior you have? This is treason, do you understand the traitor? How dare you sell something to them regardless of the bottom line? Do you know that these new species, even if they are just a piece of grass, are brought back from overseas by me, the Tang people, who risked their lives and sacrificed the lives of many people! Why are you so uncompetitive, do you have a little money! Looking at Wu Sansi and Wu Chenghe, who were dragged into the room by Hua Meng, Li Hong hated iron and said with no steel.

The princess shook off the hand whose chin was pinched by Li Hong, and said angrily: "Why can't you sell it to us?" Wouldn't it be easier for us? I went to Datang with all my hard work, don't I just hope that you can help us, why do you keep suppressing us! ”

"It's just that I don't like you, I just don't want to give you the things we have worked so hard to get, what's the matter?" Li Hong stared at the somewhat reddened eyes of the princess, and said categorically.

The princess has never felt so wronged, seeing that she is about to get something, but she doesn't want to be taken back, this feeling of gaining and losing makes her feel very powerless, and her heart is full of unspeakable grievances and sadness.

She didn't understand why Li Hong suppressed them so much, and even blocked the coastline of the Japanese and levied taxes on fishermen in the past two years.

In addition, he had to interfere in the political affairs of the Japanese state, and when his father was unwilling to agree, he had already begun to secretly cultivate forces hostile to his father, preparing for him to support the puppet regime in the future and replace his father.

"You just want our country to fall into disintegration, never be able to become truly strong, and never be able to feed and clothe the people! Why the hell are you doing this! The reddened eyes of the princess were full of unyielding, and as she spoke, tears flowed down in an instant.

"Then tell me, why should I help you selflessly? Help your country to become rich and strong, and then one day let you pick up the weapons in your hands and sit on the warships that we have helped you build with our technology, and then let your soldiers burn and loot the people along our coast? I'm not a saint, Datang is not a charity, we don't give alms casually, we don't help others at will, and we don't help people from other countries with ghosts, is it wrong? Li Hong's eyes swept over the few Japanese people who were holding back their anger behind the princess.

In the face of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, their hearts are full of grievances that dare not speak out, no one knows better than them, how powerful this prince is, how ruthless his heart is, no, how ruthless he is to the hearts of the Japanese people.

Far away on the other side of the ocean, their king can only act at the behest of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but if there is the slightest disobedience, it will immediately attract the opposition of other people in the Japanese kingdom, and even the danger of being replaced by other forces.

"On behalf of my father, I ask you to help us become rich, and we are willing to be the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty forever, and we are willing to be given the title of vassals by His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor like Baekje and Silla!" The princess of Dalai knelt down slowly, her weak and helpless fragrant shoulders swayed from time to time, at this moment, her heart was full of despair, and she no longer dared to look forward to the bright future of her country like just now.

The people of Zongzheng Temple quickly rushed in, and after entering the house to salute, in the face of the ironclad evidence pointed out by Li Hong, they had no way to refuse for other reasons, so they could only follow the will of His Royal Highness the Prince, and temporarily escort Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi back to Zongzheng Temple.

As for the Lady of Dalai, the woman who was comforted by His Royal Highness the Prince's arms and shoulders, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not give them the will for the time being, so it was inconvenient for them to stay too long, so the two people who whispered to the prince for mercy quickly left here.

Three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five prisons, if the only place where Li Hong has not been controlled by the palm of power in recent years, it is Zongzheng Temple.

Zongzheng Temple is in charge of the royal family, clan, and relatives, so this government office has always been in charge of the emperor's personal order, including the punishment of the royal family, and it basically follows the will of Zongzheng Temple and the emperor.

And the reason why Li Hong has always placed Zongzheng Temple outside the scope of his rights is not because he is incapable of doing it, or because Zongzheng Temple has always resisted him as a prince.

Rather, it is because Zongzheng Temple, as an existence to deal with royal affairs, relies on and is responsible for the head of the imperial family, and this leader is not in charge of clan rituals except for the emperor.

The princess of Lai reluctantly followed Li Hong on the streets of Chang'an City, and the few Japanese subordinates around her were also sent to the prison of the criminal department by Li Hong, which made the already unhappy princess of Lai even more unhappy, and she kept pouting to express her dissatisfaction along the way.

"You are so rich, why can't you help us!" The princess of Dalai has always been this sentence all the way: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty participates in the spring ploughing ceremony, and you have to build a palace, you are so rich, why can't you help us." ”

"That's all for dinner." Li Hong dragged the princess who chattered all the way, and walked into a restaurant without saying a word.

Along the way, my ears heard that the cocoon was coming, but the princess was never tired, even if she sat at the dinner table, the delicious food could not stop the little mouth, which continued to chatter in Li Hong's ear.

"Xue Shao has seen the imperial brother." In the hall, Hua Meng, Cheetah and Li Hong sat down to eat together, and when they heard the voice in their ears, they immediately looked over vigilantly.

When Li Hong turned around, he saw Xue Shao, who was tall and thin and white-faced, standing about seven or eight steps away from him and saluting.

beckoned him to come and sit down, Hua Meng wiped his mouth with the cheetah, signaled that he had finished eating, and then stood silently in an inconspicuous place.

"Why are you here?" Li Hong looked behind Xue Shao, but didn't find any of his other classmates, and asked strangely.

Xue Shao is two years older than Li Lingyue, only sixteen years old this year, and he looks like a beautiful man in Yushu.

But the bones were so thin that it looked like a suit of clothes hung on a clothes pole.

"I ...... I saw you come in on the street and followed. Xue Shao was a little embarrassed and said shyly.

"Is there something wrong with you?" Li Hong went to Princess Chengyang's mansion and met Xue Shao a few times, but every time he talked to Chengyang about business, Xue Shao would politely find an excuse to quit, so until now, he still had a superficial impression of Xue Shao.

As for Xue Shao in history, he naturally knows that Li Lingyue's first husband is Xue Shao, and his life after marriage with Li Lingyue is also very happy, and the two of them are also respectful and extremely affectionate.

It was only after Xue Shao's death that Li Lingyue remarried, and his temper and temperament began to change dramatically.

This kind of situation is not only happening to Li Lingyue alone, many princesses of the royal family are like this, after remarrying, their style of acting is becoming more and more paranoid, and their life style is becoming more and more undignified.

But no matter what, looking at Xue Shao's stumbling and spitting appearance, it was obvious that he was looking for him for something, otherwise, with his restrained and shy personality, he would have avoided himself, instead of coming to him and taking the initiative to say hello.

"I ...... I....... Xue Shao watched the curious gaze of the princess wander over him, and his heart was even more nervous, and after a long time, just when Li Hong was about to get impatient, he suddenly said in a hurry and quickly: "I want to join the army and go to the Anxi Corps to exercise." ”

With a poof, a sip of tea was squirted out by Li Honghao's unsightly appearance, took the silk handkerchief handed over by the princess, wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked at Xue Shao incredulously and asked, "You?" You're going to join the army? ”

Xue Shao looked even more embarrassed in the face of Li Hong's somewhat exaggerated tone, and even his demeanor became a little twisted, looking at Li Hong, he finally nodded and said: "Yes, I want to join the army, follow the example of the royal brother King Ying, and exercise my will, character and strong physique in the army." ”

"This ......." Li Hong thought about the truth of Xue Shao's words, after all, Princess Chengyang loved Xue Shao as much as her heart, if she was put into the army, Princess Chengyang would not have to follow her to Anxi and personally give Xue Shao an old mother in the barracks.

"Are you sure? Does your mother know? Does she agree? Li Hong asked uncertainly.

"Mother didn't quite agree, but ...... But I want to go. Xue Shao raised his head and said with a slightly firm expression.

"Your mother doesn't agree, do you want to go yourself? You...... Sure, I've heard that you've always liked the wind and snow, and you're not interested in the military at all, so why do you suddenly want to go to the military? Why don't I directly seal you as a military officer? So you have a grade, and you don't have to go to the barracks, how about it? Li Hong didn't want to make trouble for himself.

After all, if he is put into the army, he will have to face the inquiries of Princess Chengyang every day, so he will not be able to run to the East Palace eight times a day!

Xue Shao was indeed a little tempted in the face of Li Hong's tempting proposal, not only did he not need to really join the army, but he could also get the rank of a military officer corresponding to his title, which was simply better.

But...... Xue Shao had to worry, would Princess Taiping agree? After all, this is what she proposed!
