Chapter 225 Prelude

In fact, since Yongning ran away from the Tibetan mission in anger, the attitude of the Tang Dynasty towards Waibo has been very different. Except for those dead eyes who have been soaked in the so-called "words of the saints", no one feels that as a heavenly court, it is like owing those fangangs, supporting those white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with feeding every year......

Of course, even if it is a dead eye, it is no longer the attitude that the Fan Gang sang praises and advocated the emperor's sending things as long as they opened their mouths, although they were still generous compared to others, but if compared with their words and deeds, they were much more stingy. It's just that although most people have been able to clearly define these foreign Tibetans in a hostile position, they still lack the proper sense of precaution under that superior mentality.

On the other hand, those people of all kinds who stayed in Chang'an are keeping pace with the times looking for ways to save the country, from the study of various practical books to the smuggling and smuggling of various agricultural tools and casting processes, when Datang was not aware, they have made a lot of achievements in many aspects.

After Li Zhi was reminded by Yongning, he summoned the work of taking over Fang Xuanling, the current prime minister Yu Zhining, and relevant officials such as the Ministry of Industry into the palace with a black face, and did not care about the already dark sky outside, but it made these ministers feel a little uncertain.

Yu Zhining's age is not much younger than Fang Xuanling, anyone can see that Li Zhi put him in the position of prime minister, but he just relied on his qualifications and prestige to stabilize people's hearts, of course, having said that, it does not mean that Yu Zhining's talent is not competent enough, the main reason why he was used as a transitional candidate is actually because of his age.

Emotionally speaking, Li Zhi still values Yu Zhining very much. ~ Yu Zhining was originally Li Shimin's special choice to Li Chengqian's left concubine in the East Palace, but he was upright, and often because of Li Chengqian's unqualified behavior, and there were words of advice, which inevitably provoked Li Chengqian's disgust, if it weren't for Li Shimin's trust to maintain, and Li Zhi secretly helped, he was afraid that he didn't know how many times he had died, for this reason, he had a sense of gratitude to Li Zhi in his heart.

And since Li Chengqian was imprisoned in the East Palace, Li Shimin changed hands and ordered Yu Zhining to serve Li Zhi, which can be regarded as officially putting him in Li Zhi's sphere of influence. Later, after Li Zhi was promoted to the crown prince, Yu Zhining also naturally served as the prince's young master. He was already serving under the Zhongshu Province, and it was not abrupt to succeed Fang Xuanling, and because he had been friends with Li Zhi for many years, he was quite able to comprehend the holy will, but he was not afraid that anything would go wrong.

At that time, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry was Liu Xianli, the former left cavalry guard general of the Central Calendar, this person is also a talent, but he is too square, perhaps because he was in the army when he was young, and his actions are sharp and angular, and his temper is also violent, and he has offended people over the years. Today, he was suddenly summoned to enter the palace so late, and met Yu Zhining in front of the palace gate, and then his subordinate officials were also ordered to enter the palace, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, secretly wondering if he had offended someone for some reason, and was involved in something, which annoyed the emperor......

Yu Zhining himself is a person with a square temperament, although he does not have many contacts with Liu Xianli, he also admires it, as soon as he saw Liu Xianli frowning, he guessed that he was embarrassed by something, and couldn't help coughing dryly, walked closer, and whispered to Liu Xianli: "Benevolence does not have to be like this, Your Majesty's night edict, there must be important things, but it will not be for the gains and losses of one person alone, it is ...... to treat it normally."

Liu Xianli's eyes lit up, and he was especially grateful to Yu Zhining for his suggestion, but he was in the palace, not because his words and deeds were inconvenient, but he just arched his hand to express his gratitude. Although the spirit stood up for a while, but he still couldn't find out what Li Zhi urgently called the Ministry of Works, if it was said that the most eye-catching work of the Ministry of Industry during this period of time should be the matter of hydraulic printing, but the progress of this work Li Zhi has always been satisfied, and now it has reached the end of the part, and there has been nothing wrong, it should not be found out at this time, but in addition to this, he can't think of anything else for a while......

Liu Xianli, the chief official, was already so weak-hearted, and the officials who followed him were even more frightened. ~ Compared with Liu Xianli, the upright leader, these officials have a lot of pigtails, and according to their grades, they are not enough to meet at all, and they are suddenly summoned by the next level, and no one will have any good associations.

When they arrived at the Liangyi Palace, Li Zhi had been depressed in the hall for a while, and when the inner servant came in to pass the message, he thought about it, but he only announced that Yu Zhining had entered the hall alone.

Now whether it is Liu Xianli or those officials, their hearts are even more bottomless. At present, no matter how you look at this situation, it looks like there is an irreparable mistake in the work of the Ministry of Industry, and Yu Zhining, who was announced first, is more like being called in by the emperor to discuss how to deal with them......

"My lord......" An official surnamed Zhang nervously rubbed the sweat on his head, quietly approached Liu Xianli, and whispered: "What is this for?" The subordinates realized that there was nothing wrong in the government office that would provoke the wrath of the saint recently...... How can this be ......?"

Before Liu Xianli could speak, another official surnamed Wang next to him also came over and said in a low voice: "Could it be that Concubine Shu said something in front of Your Majesty?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Xianli was shocked, Yongning went to the Ministry of Industry to see the progress of hydraulic printing, Li Zhi informed him early in the morning, but he didn't agree with the behavior of a woman in Yongning worrying about these things, so he just gave an explanation, and let the people below arrange the reception by themselves, but at this moment, the words of Siguan Wang made him have a bad premonition.

These people in the Ministry of Industry also paid attention to the body of the Wang Minister, and some of them knew that the person who was responsible for receiving Yongning was the Wang Minister, and they couldn't help but look at him with suspicion, and they all wondered in their hearts whether he had made something wrong in the process of reception, but let them carry the black pot together......

Siguan Wang naturally understood what everyone was thinking at this moment, but at this critical juncture, it was not a time to hide it, so he only said with a bitter face: "Shufei Niangniang went to the Ministry of Industry, it was received by her subordinates, and it was very smooth all the way, and Shufei Niangniang was also very satisfied, but when Shufei Niangniang was leaving, his subordinates found that Niangniang's face was a little ugly, but no one collided with Niangniang along the way, and nothing happened. But His Majesty suddenly summoned ...... on this big night Somehow the subordinates thought of this......"

Liu Xianli frowned tightly and asked about the details again and again, but even Chief Wang himself didn't understand why Yongning's face changed inexplicably, and naturally it was even more unclear. At that time, there were several officials in the official office, and they all confirmed in unison that everything was indeed business as usual at that time, and there were no discordant people or things.

Because things suddenly involved the favorite concubine who had won the most sacred heart in recent years, and she was also a favorite concubine with a very unusual background, so the people in the Ministry of Industry had already mentioned the heart of the throat and eyes, which was already stuck in the trachea, so that they all felt that they couldn't breathe.

Li Zhi didn't have a secret chat with Yu Zhining alone for a long time, but even if it was only for a short time, it was also a lot of pressure for Liu Xianli and others. So when Yu Zhining came out of the Liangyi Hall with a frown, Liu Xianli found that he didn't even have the confidence to come forward to ask.

"Benevolence," Yu Zhining sighed, patted Liu Xianli's shoulder, and said, "Your Majesty has already explained the matter to the old man, so I won't see you in person, so you can follow the old man to the Zhongshu Province to discuss it in detail......

Zhongshu Province is said to be complementary to the whole country, but it is equivalent to the emperor's secretary to the smaller, and the twelve hours a day are not separated from people.

Liu Xianli felt very relieved that he didn't have to meet the emperor in person, but then he felt bitter in his heart, and the matter that the prime minister personally asked about was not very small. It's just that compared to breaking things up directly in front of the emperor, at least the prime minister can be a buffer here, and if he can know what it's for, he can also have a response when he sees him in the future......

Li Zhi didn't know that he had brought so much psychological pressure to the Ministry of Industry, in fact, if it wasn't for Yu Zhining's persuasion, he would have wanted to summon Liu Xianli and others to meet him, and after reprimanding them well and venting the anger in his heart, he would let Yu Zhining take them to draft a way to deal with it.

The first person to be depressed about the fact that officials at all levels did not have a sense of confidentiality was Yongning, but when she transferred this depression to Li Zhi, she was relaxed and what to do, so Li Zhi, who was not able to vent his depression, came to the Huien Hall with a calm face, and when he saw Yongning smiling forward and backwards in front of a book, his eyes were green......

After "teaching" Yongning fiercely, Li Zhi lay flat on the couch with a weak body, and the whole person was a little tired. Yongning knew that all he needed was silent companionship, and he didn't speak, just gently held his hand, rubbed his cheek lightly on his chest a few times, changed to a comfortable position, and snuggled him into a deep sleep......
