"Your Majesty said that when this year is over, the remaining budget of the user department and the Ministry of Industry will pay off the bank's account, but ...... The slave felt that His Majesty's words were not credible, he was prevaricating you and me, and when the new budget of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry came down next year, the unspent budget of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry would definitely be invested in other places by His Majesty as in previous years. With-Dream- . Bai Chun wrinkled his snow-white forehead and pouted with some frustration.

People say that Jun has no jokes, a word, a golden mouth or something, but it seems that these words have nothing to do with the current Tang Emperor, and now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is a laipi, he doesn't care about your set, every time it is almost the end of the year, his mouth is as sweet as smearing honey, but in the blink of an eye, he will move the remaining budgets of Zhongshu, Menxia, and the six ministries of the three provinces to other places, as for repaying the money, he has never really thought about paying it back.

"You expect you to pay back your money, unless, ah, tomorrow the sun will come out in the west. You too, you don't have a long memory, he said you just believe, he was eaten to death, for so many years, you have been helping him manage money, can't you be a little tougher? That Pei Wanying can't count on this palace, that is a submissive master, counting on her emperor to control her, then it will be time to see the sun at night. In the entire harem, he can still listen to some of your words, you don't care about it now, wait for me to follow the first emperor, this Tang Dynasty...... Who else do you think Hongu can count on to watch him? Wu Mei sighed helplessly and counted Bai Chun, this is not the first time she has said this to Bai Chun.

But Bai Chun, who has always been shrewd, capable, and quite assertive, as long as she arrives in front of the loser, she has no temper and no principles, and she completely lets the loser bully her, and does whatever she wants, without principles and shrewdness.

"I'm afraid the slave won't be able to do it, but the slave thinks it...... Imperial Concubine Shangguan may have such potential ....... ”

"Just her? looks like that on the surface, but if Li Hong is attentive, hum, she doesn't know that she was sold by Li Hong, and she probably happily helped Li Hong count the money, just like Li Lingyue, she was as stupid as a pig in front of Li Hong. Wu Mei mercilessly ridiculed her daughter-in-law, and naturally, she also scolded Her Royal Highness the princess, who had been with her daughter-in-law since she was a child.

After the two of them chatted for a long time, it was naturally difficult to control His Majesty the Emperor, who had already left the palace, so now they could only stay in the palace and wait, otherwise, they would have to leave the palace in person, but in this way, Wu Mei was afraid that after seeing what Li Hong was tossing, she would faint in case she fainted.

"By the way, the Queen Mother, can you say that?" Bai Chun accompanied Wu Mei to drink tea silently, but suddenly remembered that he had something to do here today, so he put down the teacup and looked at Wu Mei who was looking out the window and asked.

"What's the matter?" Wu Mei put away her thoughts, slowly turned her head, and asked with a somewhat blank expression.

"It's the matter of the Yeyue Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Dalai, Your Majesty didn't give them a clear answer, and the Yeyue Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Dalai couldn't rest assured, so they found the slave and maid here." Bai Chun looked at Wu Mei's expression, with a hint of resentment unique to her mother-in-law, and said with a relaxed smile.

"Just now, the two of them came over to say hello, why didn't they ask themselves? Can I still eat them? One is for the elder brother, the other is for the younger brother, and she is the imperial concubine of the Tang Dynasty, which seems to be supreme in the eyes of outsiders, but who knows that behind the nobility, there are also a lot of hardships that are not enough for outsiders. Alas...... Forget it, you don't care, let them continue to make trouble with Li Hong, Li Hong doesn't say it, naturally he has a reason. Wu Mei sighed again, others couldn't see it, but as the emperor's mother, how could she not know what Li Hong had in her heart.

The eldest son of the emperor is not young, and it stands to reason that he should be appointed as the crown prince, but Li Hong was unmoved, and he did not have the slightest idea of establishing a prince, and even if he was advised by the ministers, Li Hong did not seem to have much interest in the matter of the prince.

But fortunately, now that Li Hong is still young and strong, it doesn't matter if he establishes the prince later, it will not affect the stability of the court and temple of the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes...... Your Majesty...... Is this really ambitious? If that's the case, the Imperial Concubine of Coming and the Imperial Concubine of the Night Moon...... I'm afraid it's not a big fuss in front of His Majesty. Bai Chun thought about it, but he was still not sure what he thought about Li Hong's ultimate strategy for the Great Food and the Wa Kingdom.

"This is where the prodigal son is clever, when the time comes, they will be their own brother and brother on the one hand, and their own prince on the other, and they can't and are not qualified to be appointed as the prince of my Tang Dynasty, and then it will be up to Yeyue and the princess to decide for themselves." Wu Mei lazily collapsed on the sofa, although her figure has been out of shape over the years, she still has some charm, and she still looks much younger than her actual age.

"It would be nice if Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje could also be concocted in the same way, so that the world would be really peaceful, and the four sides of my Tang Dynasty would be ruled by the prince in the future, which can be regarded as a major event that is conducive to my Tang Dynasty." Bai Chun said with some longing on his face.

"There are pros and cons in everything, we don't understand these, Yeyue's son will be in charge of the big food in the future, and the son of the princess will be in charge of the country in the future, no accident, Pei Wanying's son is naturally the prince of the Tang Dynasty, this right is compared with brotherhood, sometimes, I can't say which one is more attractive, but no matter what, it is my Datang and even Huaxia's species, the big circle of the Chinese nation, Li Hong seems to be going to make a decision." Wu Mei mentioned Li Hong, no matter when, it was still a lot of time to sigh.

At this moment, Wang Lou suddenly ran in, looked at the Queen Mother and Yeyue who were chatting easily, and hurriedly and respectfully said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty is about to return to the palace, but...... According to those who have returned, His Majesty's mood is ...... It doesn't seem to be very good, and besides, the thing called the internal combustion engine can run on its own, but the sound is loud and scary, and the black smoke is rising, and it is said that sitting in the carriage, you can't see who the person opposite is. ”

As soon as they heard Wang Lou's performance, Wu Mei and Bai Chun, who were originally lazily paralyzed on the sofa, immediately came to their senses, and their eyes began to glow, Wu Mei even sat up straight, looked at Wang Lou and asked, "So it hasn't succeeded yet, and it has failed again?" ”

"This ...... The slave and maid only understand these one-sided, and the specific ...... is not very clear. Wang Lou thought about it, but he still didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only swallow and say.

"Let's go, Bai Chun, whether you want to go or not, look at the excitement." Wu Meichong was still sitting on the sofa, and Bai Chun beckoned.

"This ...... It's not appropriate for the slave and maid to go, after all, His Majesty has just encountered a setback, and it is ...... if the slave and maid go. ”

"What are you afraid of, you are still afraid of him with this palace here? Besides, for so many years, he, the emperor, has been smooth sailing, and the five surnames and seven wangs have been destroyed by him and Di Renjie and others, and there is nothing left left, at this time, there should be some setbacks to remind him, otherwise, in the future, your Taiyi City may have to continue to supply him with money endlessly. Wu Mei was extremely excited, she didn't have much fun lately, but Li Hong's deflated meal was definitely one of her favorite pleasures.

When Bai Chun heard Wu Mei talk about Taiyi City and money, she was immediately moved, and in the face of Wu Mei, Bai Chun was still a little tender, so two sentences provoked her curiosity.

So the two women, accompanied by Wang Lou and several other palace maids and eunuchs, quickly walked towards the direction of the Zichen Hall in front.

To the surprise and joy of the two women, when the two of them had just arrived at the Zichen Palace, His Majesty the Emperor had just entered the palace gate, so it would take a while to reach the Zichen Palace, so Wu Mei motioned to Bai Chun to hide with her.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the Zichen Palace, seeing the Queen Mother and Miss Bai arriving at the same time, were even more nervous and focused than seeing the emperor, but after receiving the Empress Dowager's decree, they immediately pretended that there was no Queen Mother and Miss Bai in the Zichen Palace, and stood quietly where they should stand, waiting for His Majesty and the courtiers to come back.

If it weren't for the news that the Central Army had received the news of His Majesty's return to the palace, I am afraid that they would have been shot at these iron horsemen who could not see their faces clearly, and their bodies were embarrassed, like the defeated remnants of the army.

A group of dozens of horsemen, and only Li Hong dared to ride a horse and gallop after entering the palace, while the captain of the personal guard, Tu Fin and others, including some ministers, immediately jumped off the horse after entering the palace gate, and then immediately ran backwards on two legs, chasing the four-legged war horse to the palace.

Li Zhe and Li Dan didn't care about what their crime was in riding a horse in the palace, and they didn't care if anyone would hold them accountable afterwards, the two of them rode their horses and followed closely behind Li Hong, their snow-white teeth leaking out of their mouths from time to time, and they didn't know what to explain to Li Hong.

No one could see the expressions on the faces of the three of them, because not only the three of them, but even the ministers who were panting, sweating, and with weak legs running behind, were all like the three of them, their faces were as if they had been smoked by thick smoke, they were all black, and even their clothes were covered with black smoke and wrinkles, as if they had gone to roll in the coal pile and then ran out.

In addition to being able to see the white eyeballs and the teeth that are exposed when speaking, whether it is Li Hong, Li Zhe, or Li Dan, the faces of the three of them are all black.

"What a surprise did God have? I finally got it right, and you're going to give me this kind of moth? After running less than two miles, he lay on his stomach, and the carriage was ...... The black smoke in this particular carriage...... You moved the boiler to the car, didn't you? Turning over from the horse, Li Hong, who was walking on the steps, was obviously very dissatisfied with the efficiency of Li Zhe and Li Dan, and he didn't need to look black and shiny, and he couldn't see any expression, only the three-character scripture in his tone, and he drilled into the Zichen Hall at the steps of the Zichen Palace.

"I didn't expect it, who knew it would be like this, the chimney has been changed after your prompting, but who knew that after running, the black soot is so big ......."

"And you, the power plant is ready, what about the electricity? If you can't send it to Chang'an City, it's just that dozens of cattle will be electrocuted to death, you say...... How do you pay for these dozens of cattle? You still don't think the Imperial Observatory will impeach me, right? Is...... What a waste of you two. ”

Wu Mei and Bai Chun, who were hiding in the Zichen Palace, listened to Li Hong's angry words from outside the Zichen Palace, and couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise, it was the first time in the past few years that they had seen Li Hong lose such a big temper with Li Dan and Li Zhe.
