"Father-in-law Le, there is something I have to ask you for advice."

On the way to the palace, Wang Xiaolai said.

"Yo, Lord Wang, you are polite, how can you be so polite, I am really ashamed to let you be so polite." Le Gonggong said busily.

Wang Xiaolai waved his hand, took out a silver ingot from his arms and sent it over.

"What do you mean, sir?" Although Father-in-law Le said so, those eyes never opened half a cent of silver.

Wang Xiaolai said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to invite Grandpa Le to drink some tea and inquire about some things by the way." ”

Father-in-law Le was happy at that time, and with a shake of his hand, he touched the silver: "What does Lord Wang want to inquire, but if the family knows, he will definitely give you a word-for-word explanation." ”

Wang Xiaolai snorted when he heard this, and then asked, "Have you heard of the royalists?" ”

Grandpa Le was stunned when he heard this: "Royalists? What's the matter, sir, you had a holiday with them? ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled and waved his hand: "Is this here, how can I have a festival with them in a good manner, you say yes." ”

Father-in-law Le sighed at this time: "It seems that the family is too worried, to be honest, Lord Wang, the family was still thinking about it just now, if you really have a holiday with the royalists, Your Majesty's side will not be good." ”

Wang Xiaolai didn't understand what was going on, so he looked at Father-in-law Le suspiciously.

I only heard that, Grandpa Le said with a smile: "Lord Wang, it's not me who is talking nonsense with you, this royalist party really deserves their name." ”

"How?"

"You also know, isn't this a war on the third front of Suiyang?"

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "This Dan is a citizen of Suiyang, he should be no stranger." ”

"Lord Wang is really good at laughing, let me tell you this, Your Majesty has been resting for no more than two hours every day these days, and the daily amount of food is only half a liter of rice, and I am haggard all day long."

Wang Xiaolai was stunned when he heard this: "So serious? ”

Father-in-law Le sighed: "Isn't it, just two days ago, His Majesty passed out in the imperial study due to overwork. ”

Wang Xiaolai: "···"

Not noticing the change in Wang Xiaolai's expression, Father-in-law Le continued: "Lord Wang, do you know what Your Majesty is all because of? ”

Wang Xiaolai is not a fool, of course he knows why the empress is like this: "Is it because of the war?" ”

Father-in-law Le nodded: "The war on the third front is a very serious burden for Suiyang's logistics." ”

Wang Xiaolai hissed and said: "I just sent 500,000 stone grain and 700,000 taels of silver a few days ago, how can I say that I can also respond to emergencies, why is Your Majesty still like this?" ”

Father-in-law Le sighed: "Hey, my lord, to tell you the truth, compared to silver grain, what Sui Yang lacks more is medicinal herbs and other things." ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled bitterly at the time: "Medicinal herbs? I don't have anywhere to do this. ”

Father-in-law Le nodded: "Actually, you don't have to blame yourself, you can take out so much silver grain at this point, looking at the entire Sui Yang, there is no one else except you, Your Majesty has been happy for many days after receiving your silver grain." ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "That's good." ”

"Still." Le Gonggong changed his words.

Wang Xiaolai looked up at him: "What's wrong?" ”

"A few days ago, those royalists didn't know what method they used, not to mention 400,000 taels of silver, but also sent a lot of medicinal materials needed in the army, which can be regarded as a solution to Your Majesty's urgent need at once."

Only then did Wang Xiaolai understand that it was no wonder that Father-in-law Le just said that it was a good thing that he and the royalists did not have a holiday.

"Lord Wang, you are not an outsider, can you tell me, can you turn a blind eye to the royalists if you change anyone?" Le Gonggong asked.

Wang Xiaolai shook his head with a smile: "I'm afraid I can't, if it were me, I might have directly summoned the person in charge of the royalist party, and then praised him well, so that he could continue to work hard for Sui Yang." ”

Father-in-law Le nodded, and then said: "Having said that, but if ordinary people want to meet the Son of Heaven, it is still as difficult as reaching the sky, Lord Wang, you say yes." ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded.

The two talked and laughed, and continued to beat their horses and walked forward, but on the way to the palace, Wang Xiaolai had a trace of curiosity about this royalist in his heart.

Is there really such a stupid person in the world? Not for fame, not for profit, sincerely do things for the empress, where is this like a party, is it obviously the empress's personal large-scale hardcore fan group, the three words royalist party, really did not insult them.

Thinking to himself, he came to the palace.

Father-in-law Le jumped out of the carriage, turned around and said to Wang Xiaolai in the car: "My lord, the palace has arrived, you can come down and take two steps." ”

Sui Yang Iron Order, no matter who you are, you are not allowed to enter the palace by carriage and horse, and those who disobey the order will try to rebel.

This order, even a celestial celebrity like Wang Xiaolai cannot be spared.

Get out of the car and walk with Grandpa Le, along the way, there are some old acquaintances to greet him.

The secret guards like Camellia Mulan followed in front of the palace and in front of the inner court, as if the empress wanted to express her value for Wang Xiaolai.

When he was about to arrive at the door of the imperial study, under the steps, there was still a walking cat Zhao Liwen.

As soon as they saw Zhao Liwen, everyone, including Wang Xiaolai, bowed their hands and shouted Zhao Weng.

"Lord Wang, here, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

Seeing Wang Xiaolai, Zhao Liwen also said with a smile on his face.

Wang Xiaolai raised his head when he heard this, and followed politely: "Trouble Zhao Weng is here." ”

Zhao Liwen smiled: "Okay, the little guy hasn't seen him for many days, and he has learned a lot of etiquette." ”

Wang Xiaolai followed with a smirk.

"Come with me."

Zhao Liwen said, left everyone including Camellia Mulan, and led Wang Xiaolai to the imperial study alone.

Before I could enter the door, I listened to the discussion between the empress and Liu Maolin and others.

"At present, the three battlefields all need days of silver grain and medicinal materials, Lao Xiangguo, you can arrange it, pack up the supplies currently stored in Daxing City, and send them all to the Yongzhou Lu Gong Department."

"Your Majesty, what about the Eighth Prince and Zhou Jinglian?"

"I believe that Uncle Huang and Zhou Jinglian will be able to hold on to them in a short period of time, and the most important thing at the moment is to end the war in Yongzhou as soon as possible, and then withdraw their hands so that they can concentrate on dealing with others."

"Yes, the old minister will arrange it."

"Fan Shangshu, is there anything unusual in the states and counties?"

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the excerpts sent by the governors of various prefectures and counties are all clearly stating that there is nothing abnormal, except for the territory of the eighteen anti-kings."

The empress snorted: "This is the best, now, Sui Yang is a time of turmoil, if there are dissidents at this time, I am afraid that Sui Yang will not be able to afford it at all, pass the order, all states and counties, strictly guard against death, and beware of those who take advantage of the chaos at any time, if the matter is urgent, you can cut it first and then play." ”

"Yes."

"Ahem, Your Majesty, Lord Wang has arrived."

At this time, Zhao Liwen coughed twice, and then knocked on the door of the imperial study.

Hearing this, the empress raised her head and saw Wang Xiaolai, and a smile appeared on her face: "Xiao Laizi is here, come in." ”

Wang Xiao thanked him, and then walked in.

After entering the house, except for Liu Maolin and Fan Lin, who he knew, the rest of the generals and Wenchen were all strangers.

"Come on, little Laizi, come to my side." The empress said with a smile.

Except for a few people present who were not surprised by the empress's performance, like those generals and ministers who Wang Xiaolai had never seen, they all looked surprised, and said that they had heard that His Majesty valued Wang Xiaoxiao very much, and when he saw it today, it was true.

Didn't you see that Wang Xiaolai was standing next to the empress's left hand side, besides him, you could find even one person present?

Even Liu Maolin, the most respected old minister, cannot stand with His Majesty.

"Little Laizi, you're late."

The empress suddenly spoke, bringing everyone's eyes over.

Being stared at by so many people, Wang Xiaolai also felt a little embarrassed, so he scratched his head and said, "Didn't I come as soon as I received His Majesty's letter?" ”

The empress smiled and patted Wang Xiaolai on the shoulder: "Thanks to your 500,000 stone grain a few days ago, it has relieved my urgency, otherwise, these grains will have to be raised, and they will be delayed for at least three days." ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed: "Your Majesty, are you polite, who is with whom, don't forget to make up for me after you finish, these grains are all planned to be used for tobacco, and the rivers and lakes will give it to you first." ”

Empress: "···"
