Li Chongfu wants to be perfunctory, of course he is not stupid, the foundation of the clan is based on the current separation, and now the Li family has declined, but because of this, it is even more necessary to divide and rule, use Qin Shaoyou to control the governors of each town, and then use the governors of each town to weigh Qin Shaoyou.

Between the two, it can be said that one or the other is indispensable.

Qin Shaoyou smiled, as if he had seen through his intentions at a glance, so he took a sip of tea and glanced at Wang Ju.

Wang Ju had an indifferent expression on his face and was silent.

Qin Shaoyou said: "Your Majesty, this is a matter of urgency, and it cannot be delayed for a day, and I ask Your Highness to draft an edict immediately." ”

This is tantamount to forcing Li Chongfu into a corner, Li Chongfu was stunned for a moment, a trace of shame and anger flashed in his eyes, his heart was in a mess, obviously Qin Shaoyou's determination had been made, and it seemed that it was difficult to change, but it was just ...... Li Chongfu refused to give in here, he knew very well that he must not back down, once he gave in, there would be no way to retreat, his tone suddenly became stern: "King Wei, this king said, this matter must be considered in the long run, King Wei has worked hard." ”

Eviction order.

Qin Shaoyou was a little annoyed.

Wang Ju smiled and said: "Ah, yes, the King of Wei came from Hangu Pass, it is indeed hard, it is rare for His Royal Highness to sympathize with King Wei, then, come and see His Royal Highness the Prince in a few days." ”

Qin Shaoyou frowned and glanced at Wang Ju.

Wang Ju had a calm face.

When Qin Shaoyou saw that the king said this, he pursed his lips, got up and saluted Li Chongfu: "Your Highness, farewell." ”

Li Chongfu looked a little better, but when he saw Qin Shaoyou give in, he barely squeezed out some smiles on his face: "The King of Wei is in Luoyang, take a good rest, you can be the minister of the humerus, and the society of the Tang Dynasty is all on you." Don't bother. ”

While speaking, Qin Shaoyou had already nodded and said goodbye, and Wang was busy chasing out.

After leaving the main hall, Qin Shaoyou stopped and waited for Wang Ju, who had caught up, and frowned: "Mr. Wang." This Li Chongfu seems to be getting more and more aggressive. ”

Wang Ji pondered for a moment and said: "He won't give in easily, what he is thinking about now is that the Wei army will enter the pass, he can be his son of heaven, since he wants to be the son of heaven, he must check and balance the towns, His Royal Highness is now powerful, he naturally wants to borrow the hands of the towns." Come and weigh Your Highness, only in this way can his dragon chair sit steadily, otherwise ......"

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help laughing and said, "The world is falling apart, and it's just the people who are pitiful. In this case, why is Mr. Wang in a hurry to let this king out. ”

The king said: "Because the lower officials have their own ways to force this prince to comply, His Royal Highness will come back." It's really tiring, not to mention. The princesses are also waiting for His Royal Highness to go back to rest, so this matter will be handed over to the lower officials. ”

Qin Shaoyou bowed his head: "In this case, there is Mr. Lao Wang." ”

He is still quite relieved about Wang Ju, he has been away from Luoyang for nearly two years, and this Mr. Wang has been in Luoyang for a long time. He was more aware of the situation here, Qin Shaoyou stretched his waist: "It's okay, then there is Mr. Lao Wang." ”

A different kind of smile rose on Wang Ju's face, and his eyes looked at this Longmen Palace with a smile on his face, and the sun was already setting. A touch of sunset afterglow fell on his deep eyes, and a glimmer of bright color seemed to pass in his eyes, and then recovered in an instant.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Night.

Longmen Palace caught fire, several side halls were burned to ashes, countless guards and eunuchs hurriedly put out the fire, barely contained the fire, and then, the entire Luoyang City was lively.

Li Chongfu woke up in the middle of the night, he was protected by several guards to an attic, and then he saw the fire rushing to the sky, thick smoke billowing out, and the noise everywhere, Li Chongfu's heart was half cold, and he was even more frightened.

He was not stupid at all, and knew in his heart that this fire was definitely not groundless, nor was it an accident.

Bai Ri categorically rejected Qin Shaoyou, and at night, this fire arose, and now, isn't it obvious enough? That Qin Shaoyou, this is a warning to himself, only a few side halls were burned today, and tomorrow, he can burn himself down.

Thinking of this, Li Chongfu gave a cold war, he felt that Qin Shaoyou was definitely not joking, but then he thought about it, how dare this Qin Shaoyou beg Wei in his own name...... Dare to burn himself, he is the prince after all, and it is the last hope of Datang, if he is gone, what will he do to please Wei?

So Li Chongfu felt a little more at ease, but he ...... It was difficult to sleep this night, and everyone in the Longmen Palace, he couldn't trust it anymore, and he finally survived until dawn.

Dozens of people asked to see him, and people led by the Duke of Eguo came to visit.

Li Chongfu felt a little more at ease, no matter what, he was still a prince after all, otherwise how could these people come to see him in a hurry.

The heart of the man is not in him, and this is the advantage of this king.

Li Chongfu was in good spirits and met with the Duke of Hubei and others.

Just seeing these people, Li Chongfu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, where did these people have any concern, but they were all lazy, and they reluctantly saluted each other, and Li Chongfu sat down.

Immediately afterwards, there was a greeting, but this greeting, Li Chongfu was a little speechless.

"Your Royal Highness, now that the Longmen Palace has burned down so many palaces, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is particularly concerned about His Royal Highness, presumably it won't take long for the Shence Mansion to be repaired, His Royal Highness is the body of a daughter, since the palace is to be rebuilt, of course, you can't be lazy, I see, the most important thing in this palace is to prevent fire, followed by insect prevention, of course, it must be bright and magnificent, and it must be in line with His Royal Highness's identity, this matter...... You have to hurry up, it's too late. It was Cui Xian, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who spoke, and he stroked his beard and talked eloquently: "After all, His Royal Highness is a dragon, and he must not be lazy." ”

When Li Chongfu heard this, he couldn't help but be infected by Cui Xian's concern, and he nodded: "This is the matter of King Wei, and this king can't sit down." ”

Although he was polite, he deliberately expressed his dissatisfaction, and the vast majority of those present were loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty. The vast majority of them came from Chang'an, and this Datang can no longer find anyone more loyal than them.

Li Chongfu is implying that they have become Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and everything has to depend on Qin Shaoyou's snort.

He was tempting.

When Cui Xian heard this, his head shook like a rattle, and he sighed and said, "Your Highness." This is a bad statement, this matter, can not all rely on the King of Wei to decide, although the King of Wei is hard work, but he can't pay attention to everything. Your Highness, the minister has thought about it, and His Highness has to make an idea about this matter, and he has to talk to the Shence Mansion there. Let's discuss, if Your Highness doesn't say it, how can the Shence Mansion know what Your Highness needs? This is a matter of construction, but it is a sloppy thing, the minister has already thought about it, if you want to build, you have to ask the Wansheng Civil Engineering Company in Dongcheng to supervise the construction, the owner of the Wansheng Civil Engineering Company is not ordinary. At the beginning, it was Yang Wulian Yang who learned the craft under Yang Supervision, and later withdrew from the workshop. I ran a civil engineering line, there are more than 30 supervisors and more than 100 skilled craftsmen, from Mengjin to Luokou, there are mansions they built, a few days ago. Just completed a silk mill, His Royal Highness knows, this silk mill is most afraid of fire, so the use of fireproof materials, isn't there a new fireproof paint recently. The cost of this paint is very high. However, Wansheng Civil Engineering Co., Ltd. did not hesitate to spend money and purchased a lot, for what? This is in line with the attitude of being responsible for the owner, and its exquisite craftsmanship and honesty can be seen. If His Royal Highness comes forward and talks to the Shence Mansion and says peace, he will say that he will choose Wansheng Civil Engineering to build and repair Longmen Palace, and according to the minister's opinion, he will keep the Longmen Palace to be repaired perfectly...... Ahem...... It is the minister's brother-in-law, don't misunderstand Your Highness, the minister does not avoid relatives...... Well, if His Royal Highness nods, the minister is willing to take the lead in the middle, for the sake of the minister's thin face, this price, it is easy to say, at least a 20% discount. ”

"......" Li Chongfu couldn't come back for a long time.

After a long time, he became ashamed and angry, and looked at Cui Xian viciously, but Cui Xian was the appearance of the old god, and he was not ashamed at all.

Nima ...... It's all worldly, everything is fake, and money is real.

Cui Xian is from the Cui family in Longxi, which is a side branch of the Cui family in Qinghe, of course, it is not as big as the Cui family in Qinghe, but it is also from a famous family, in fact, the famous family also has a concept, when Cui Xian was in Chang'an, he really did not lack any money, and he lived a free life, but when he came to Luoyang, he found that he was poor.

It's not that he has become poor because he has lost his money, or because his family business has been ruined, but that money has become worthless.

I think that at the beginning, the Cui family was also a family with a lot of money, and the Cui family in Longxi was not fake, after all, it was a pile of real money, but in the past, life was simple, nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, a large family, living a luxurious life, and surplus.

But now it's different, there are all kinds of goods on the market, there are more than a dozen kinds of cars and horses, and even the clothes are no longer just a matter of whether the material is good or not, and now it depends on which garment store is produced, if it is an ordinary ready-to-wear line, even if the material is used well, you are embarrassed to go out to see people, not to mention, a large family, especially the women at home, the rouge gouache, all kinds of patterns are not less than a hundred, the goods here to a certain extent, in fact, the price is lower than that of Chang'an, but because there are too many goods, On the contrary, the cost of living has increased a lot, many times.

This is just like the later generations, in fact, the price of electricity has not increased much, but in the past, the monthly electricity is just the light bulb money, a month, it is only a dozen degrees, so the price is not high, but when the society is more and more developed, all kinds of refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, air conditioners, computers into thousands of households, at this time, even if the electricity price is still the electricity price, but a large number of January is hundreds of thousands, so everyone is obviously sensitive to electricity bills.

This is the situation encountered by the Cui family, although it was a rich family in the past, in fact, when it was in Chang'an, there were not many places to spend, even if they usually used luxury goods, they were also supplied, but now, it is a little unbearable.

And more importantly, people are more popular than people, what people are most afraid of is comparison, when they were in Chang'an, the Cui family was also considered a top family, so they were extravagant and chic, and when they arrived in Luoyang, even his mother's small businessman was a lot of money, and Cui Xian couldn't stand it a little.

At the beginning, he was resentful, thinking how bad Luoyang was, the etiquette collapsed, anyway, it was not pleasing to the eye anywhere, but gradually, after thinking carefully, there was no money to earn, where is not money here, his own daughter, married to the son of the civil engineering company, originally he looked down on the owner of Wansheng Commercial Bank, is he born with mud legs, you are also worthy? But people want to climb this famous family in Longxi, so the shot is also generous, this gift money, full of tens of thousands of smashed out, what the sweat and blood of the Western Regions, as well as the top Baihuafang silk and satin clothing, there are 30 sets, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, which is almost packed with baskets, this face is not only enough, Cui Xian originally wanted to hold it, but his wife couldn't stand it, every day he said how the son of Wan Shengxing was, he was very good at things, Cui Xian couldn't stand it, his daughter got married, and it was actually not bad, not only that, but even his own son, who doesn't read any scriptures, follows his eldest brother to do business, and runs a fireproof paint workshop, which is booming, and the annual flow of water is seventy or eighty thousand.

People are like this, the position of the butt has changed, and the head has naturally changed, these days, laughing at the poor and not smiling at the prostitute, what is the use of clinging to the tradition of the famous family, can it be exchanged for a spacious mansion covering an area of dozens of acres in Luoyang City? Can you enter and exit, are there dozens of Kunlun slaves waiting for you? Can there be a Goryeo woman to accompany her in singing and dancing? If you don't have money, you have to be a dwarf, this is an eternal truth.

Cui Xian is now using the old relationship, everywhere to his son-in-law, and his own son to run a business, anyway, idle is idle, King Wei arranged an idle position for him, anyway, there is not much to do, now this Longmen Palace to repair, must not let go of the opportunity, repair Longmen Palace to make money is second, the son-in-law has said, the most important thing is the signboard, you see, Wan Shengxing is to build and repair the Longmen Palace, even the prince is looking for Wan Shengxing, this name is spread, the value is immeasurable, so it must be taken.

Cui Xian pondered, yes, so he was not polite at all, at this time, who cares what others say, who knows if someone will take the lead in the end, while he and the prince still have a little old relationship, of course, they have to hurry up and lobby.
