In ancient times, the taste of being a prince should be more bitter and less happy, and the situation was embarrassing, there was an emperor above, outstanding performance, taboo, poor performance, and even worse, not only some people were eyeing at the bottom, but there were also hundreds of officials in the middle of the court.

Relatively, Li Chengqian's feeling should be more comfortable, Li Shimin is wise and martial, eloquent and strategic, there is no need to expect to be able to surpass, he is already talented, and under Han Rui's suggestion, he worked hard to correct his spleen surname, and his performance became more and more outstanding, and he was rewarded by Li Shimin several times, but Li Chengqian did not get carried away, after accepting the concubine, his surname was more calm, he studied diligently, and rarely went out of the palace.

As a result of this, it was naturally praised by the officials of the East Palace, reported to the emperor, and the court heard about it, and it was another praise, and the reputation went to a higher level.

Today, after the morning class, Li Chengqian routinely returned to the palace, the crown princess Su Aya was not there, and was invited by the eldest grandson queen to enter the palace for a party, these things, he didn't care too much, as long as he knew, Su Aya was loved by the eldest grandson.

Under the satisfactory service, he changed into a robe, came to the study, looked around, Li Chengqian felt that something was wrong, at this time in the past, Ruyi should have set up pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and waited for himself to come back to practice, but now he is not here, and he can't help but say a little strangely: "What about Ruyi?" ”

"Back to His Highness, someone is looking for him, and he went out to meet guests." Satisfied, Zhiji took out the paper, pen and ink in the cabinet, set the inkstone, held a piece of ink ingot, and gently grinded it.

Li Shimin likes calligraphy, in order to cater to his wishes, several princes intentionally or unintentionally, all write a good handwriting, Li Chengqian is no exception, taking time to practice calligraphy, naturally is an indispensable homework.

"Looking for him? Who's looking for him? Li Chengqian picked up the pen, it was even more strange, wishful thinking, he shouldn't know any friends.

After hesitating, he replied satisfactorily: "It's Han Gongzi." ”

"Han Rui is here?" Li Chengqian seemed a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Counting, I haven't seen Li Shimin since his birthday banquet, I heard that he was a school secretary in the secretary supervisor, how can I have time to visit today." ”

"That...... Your Highness. Xiangxin cautiously reminded: "Han Gongzi is not here to visit His Highness, but to find Ruyi." ”

"Looking for Ruyi?" Li Chengqian was stunned, and said with a strange expression: "You're not mistaken, right?" ”

As if he had been greatly wronged, he bit his lip and said: "If Your Highness doesn't believe it, when Ruyi comes back, you will know." ”

Accustomed to ignoring the satisfactory reaction, Li Chengqian was puzzled, and muttered: "Most of them are playing some tricks again." ”

With something in his heart, he naturally couldn't write good words, and barely wrote for a while, Li Chengqian stopped writing, stepped back to watch, shook his head, and hurriedly took it, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it into the paper basket, so as not to be embarrassed.

At this time, Ruyi came back, walking briskly like running, quite eager, but his spirit was a little trance, as if he was greatly frightened, and walked into the study in a daze, turning a blind eye to Li Chengqian's two big living people, and turned a circle unwillingly, and said something in his mouth: "Come back and report to the prince, report to the prince......

His eyes swept over the suspicion, and Li Chengqian shouted lightly: "Ruyi, lonely here, what is there to report." ”

"Prince, Your Highness." Ruyi snorted, saw Li Chengqian, and hurriedly saluted.

Waving his hand, Li Chengqian asked, "What are you going to report to Gu Yu?" Why did Han Rui look for you just now? ”

"Your Highness, Master Han, he ......" Ruyi looked excited, and said incoherently: "A lot of money...... Report to His Highness......"

What kind of mess, Li Chengqian frowned and pondered, what kind of money is not money, could it be that Han Rui is short of money again, and he is embarrassed to borrow from himself, so he passed the word through Ruyi.

handed over a glass of water and said satisfactorily: "Ruyi, drink a glass of water, and slowly explain what is going on." ”

After drinking the water, he took a smooth breath, and the red color of excitement appeared on Ruyi's handsome face, and he subconsciously lowered his voice, and said with a breath: "Your Highness, Han Gongzi was looking for me just now...... It's not clear for a while, but you'll understand it when you look at this. Patting his head, Ruyi hurriedly took out an account book and presented it.

Li Chengqian took it, inexplicably, flipped through a few pages, and had a bit of a score in his heart, this should be a summary of the accounts of the fireworks business, thinking of Han Rui's words at the beginning, Li Chengqian smiled heartily, in fact, he didn't care at all, as long as he pleased his father, what kind of business or something, for himself who was born noble, there was no ...... Directly to the end, Li Chengqian looked at it, was immediately stunned, and blinked his eyes in shame, confirming that he was not mistaken, could it be that he was with Su Aya last night...... It's so much fun, so that I don't have energy and I'm in a trance.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Discovering Li Chengqian's abnormality, he shouted with concern.

Li Chengqian turned a deaf ear and said hesitantly: "Ruyi, this amount is not fake." ”

"That, the slave doesn't know." Ruyi whispered: "However, Han Gongzi asked me to tell the prince that there was too much money, and he couldn't carry it, so I asked you if you wanted it, and if you wanted it, I would send someone to get it, otherwise it would belong to him." ”

"This kid ......" scolded, Li Chengqian hesitated, so much money, all... Well, it's half, maybe I can fill the study and give up, it seems a pity, but if I accept it, I feel that I have lost my friendship with Han Rui, and I am entangled.

"That's right, there ......" secretly glanced at Li Chengqian, and said in a low voice: "Han Gongzi said, so much money, he is also very reluctant in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness is the prince, he didn't dare to deceive, he would have filled his own pockets, and now I report it, I just hope that you will not have a conscience, take the initiative to fulfill him, kill two birds with one stone, how good." ”

"All to him, well, I will fulfill him." Li Chengqian said fiercely: "One person and half, one point is not a lot, otherwise I will lead the guards of the East Palace to rob the ...... Hmph, not a single copper coin was left for him, let him drink the northwest wind. ”

The two of them were satisfied, how could they have seen Li Chengqian like this, but for a while, they were shocked, thinking that Han Rui had really angered Li Chengqian, until they found a smile on the corner of his mouth, and they realized that this was just a joke.

Ruyi also vaguely understood, why didn't Han Rui come to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter himself, because he understood the prince's surname, and if he talked about it face-to-face, he would definitely be embarrassed to accept it, so it was better to pass through himself, there was a buffer in the middle, and the matter would be solved perfectly.

Ruyi secretly admired Han Rui's thoughtfulness, but saw Li Chengqian slowly shaking his head, and said calmly: "Forget it, I am angry for a while, I can't take it seriously, I have no worries about food and clothing, what do I want so much money for, Ruyi, Han Rui is gone, I didn't invite him in, I haven't seen him for a while, I just happened to have a small gathering to drink, and congratulate him on being an official." ”

"Han Gongzi went back, he said that he is now a court official, and it is not good to meet with His Highness in private, please forgive me." Ruyi said, took out another letter, presented it to Li Chengqian, and said, "This is his letter to His Highness." ”

Li Chengqian took it, stared at Ruyi for a while, and asked, "Is there anything else, bring it together?" ”

"No, it's the same." Ruyi said, a little shy and bowed his head, for Han Rui's admiration, it immediately rose to the level of worship, how could the prince's actions be so clear, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Slowly pulling out the letter, Li Chengqian watched carefully, his expression changed, and he returned to normal, muttered for a moment, and said softly: "Ruyi, Ming, you will go to Han Rui, transport the money back, separate it a few times, and don't make it known to everyone." ”

Ruyi hurriedly responded, abided by his duty, and didn't ask more.

Actually, there is no actual content on the letter, just ordinary greetings, talk about your recent situation, usually boring just look at Lu's Spring and Autumn or something, some words, Han Rui is not easy to say directly, let alone black and white, can only hint.

The editor of Lü's Spring and Autumn Period is the famous Prime Minister of Qin, Lü Buwei, he has many stories, the most famous, naturally he is a strange commodity to live in, and he does not hesitate to give up all his family wealth, and insists on supporting a proton to become the king of Qin, which shows the power of money, which fully illustrates the truth that wealth can be passed through God.

In ancient times, it was certainly not so understood the meaning of strange goods, according to the normal situation, Li Chengqian should be confused, but when he was dating before, Han Rui half-jokingly mentioned this allusion, Li Chengqian naturally did not forget it, and after thinking about it, he immediately understood Han Rui's intentions.

Or perhaps, Han Rui didn't mean this, and the letter was also an ordinary greeting, with no special meaning, but by chance, Li Chengqian understood it like this according to his own thoughts, so Han Rui couldn't be blamed, however, anyway, when it came to this point, it didn't matter what the truth was.

Li Chengqian regarded Han Rui as a trusted henchman, Han Rui felt that Li Chengqian was a good person, and if he reformed well, he should be able to become a good emperor, and he was willing to support him, but he was worried that he would be too deep and couldn't climb up, so he didn't dare to show his heart, so he had to knock on the side, and he could pull a handful, anyway, there were still ten years, take your time, don't rush.

Leisurely, the provincial test list is about to be announced, just in front of the Imperial City Suzaku Gate, the news came out, it can be said that it is crowded here, and thousands of scholars are looking around, waiting for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to come out and post the list.

The new official has been in office for more than half a month, and it is finally Mu Xiu's turn to take a vacation, under the service of Liuying and the painting screen, he took a warm bath, washed his head, refreshed for a while, moved a bamboo bed, lay down and squinted, enjoyed the bright spring light in the backyard, and teased the two cute little maids from time to time, Han Rui felt that life was really comfortable.

It's a pity that Qian Feng killed him halfway, and when he heard the rumors, he didn't dare to go to the list alone, so he dragged Han Rui to accompany him, and Han Rui could only admit that he was unlucky, so he simply coiled his hair, tied a ribbon, and hurriedly went under Qian Feng's urging, and soon came to the Suzaku Gate, but found that he couldn't squeeze in.

Overcrowded, some people who are obviously not candidates also come here to watch the excitement, the sound is noisy, very noisy, if you don't know what's going on, I'm afraid that the soldiers and generals guarding the imperial city will immediately bring enough people and horses to kill, and all of them will be punished, Han Rui maliciously speculated, only to see that the formation in front of him was suddenly chaotic.

"Coming, coming out......"
