The room was quiet for a moment, and the crown prince Li Cong's expression was still lazy and lazy, frowning and said, "He, how can he be suspicious?" ”

The tone was calm and there was some doubt, as if it was as common as asking why it was raining again today.

Li Zhang was slightly disappointed. He judged that the Fuguo Mansion was on the prince's side, but judging by the prince's reaction, it seemed that his life and death did not matter.

Maybe it's because he thinks that the Fuguo Mansion is already at the end of the crossbow and is useless. Perhaps it is true that they do not have a personal relationship, so the auxiliary Guogong has not yet participated in the party struggle.

"Someone saw Cui Xu standing next to Wei Huailin's body on the official road and reported it to Jing Zhaoyin." Li Zhang said sideways.

"The prince of a country, a very popular minister, actually went to kill a border protector in person. Don't you think this is a bit ridiculous? Li Cong held a celadon cup in his hand, rubbed the patterns engraved on it, and sneered.

Li Zhang held his forehead with his hand, squinted his eyes and looked at the tea cup in front of him, and said with a smile: "I heard that since Miss Cui's death, Cui Xu's head is quite abnormal, and now there is only a child in their house supporting the façade." According to this king, the hereditary title of the auxiliary prince's mansion should also be abolished in this generation.

This is asking the prince's opinion.

The prince and uncle, this highest-ranking title, is not what the regent wants to abolish it. If you want to do this, you need to find a reason. Now that the Duke of Fuguo is suspected of assassinating a member of the imperial court, it is just an opportunity.

Li Cong glanced at Li Zhang, his eyes were deep and full of playfulness.

The corners of Li Zhang's mouth hooked up in this gaze, took a sip of tea, and said tentatively: "What? Does the prince think it's inappropriate? ”

The air in the room seemed to be a little colder, Li Cong raised his hand and pulled a thin velvet blanket on his lap, and sighed: "The power of the Guogong Mansion has been done by the imperial court for more than ten years. Now the Fuguo Mansion is just a leader, with no military power and no grace, why does Brother Wang still hold on to it. ”

"This king didn't hold on." Li Zhang said: "This king has always obeyed orders, my father is intended, how can I not do my best as a courtier?" It is inappropriate to lead an annual salary that is almost higher than that of the prince, but it has little effect on the country and the dynasty. The court can't keep idlers, the treasury has been in deficit year after year, you know the prince. ”

If this money is filled, the treasury will also be at a loss.

Li Cong waved his hand when he heard this: "Everything is according to Brother Wang's wishes, there is no need to report this matter to his father, just go and ask Brother Wang." ”

Li Zhang's tense shoulders finally relaxed, nodded, but said: "This king should write an excerpt and report it to his father, and when the time comes, ...... father will ask."

"Brother Wang can say that this palace also means this." Li Cong said lightly.

Li Zhang finally put his mind at ease, pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is not beneficial for too many people to know, it is best for the military department and Jing Zhaoyin to talk to Cui Xu, if he is interested, it is best to take the initiative to ask for the title to be removed." ”

Li Cong rubbed his forehead, as if he was already a little tired, and nodded when he heard this: "Everything should be done according to Brother Wang's wishes." Hongu is tired, go back and rest for a while. ”

Li Zhang glanced at the sky outside.

Are you already sleepy before the candle is lit?

"I won't leave Brother Wang to eat," Li Cong said as he walked outside, his steps still a little slow. However, Li Zhang was used to his weak appearance, and he didn't suspect anything.

When he walked to the door of the hall, he suddenly turned around, looked at Li Zhang, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Wei Huailin died." ”
