Soon after returning from Shu, Prince Lu still failed to pass the exam and graduated, but he was already eighteen, and the Queen Mother was about to say goodbye to him.

So he rolled in front of the emperor for two times, and was finally able to leave the upper study and officially enter the six trials.

He rotated the six divisions, and finally found that he was the most suitable for the household department, which made him proud.

Because of the household department, the ministry has always been an elite department in his heart, and he thought that he would not be able to go to the military department, and he could only stay in the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Industry to do miscellaneous work in this life, who knew that he had such a talent in accounting for the tax of acres of land.

He proudly showed off in front of his relatives and friends, and naturally showed off and showed off to the prince of Shu, who has always been a scholar.

So, the prince of Shu sent him a set of arithmetic books and told him, "There are notes in the book, if you have any questions, you can write to ask." ”

Prince Lu: ......

He held the book in his arms, his heart was sour and astringent, and he regretted making this friend a little.

No matter how much you regret it, the friends you have made will continue on your knees.

When the relationship between the two countries was good, both Emperor Liang and Emperor Shu were happy to see them befriend, but whether it was Prince Lu or Prince Shu, they all knew in their hearts that the two countries could not remain friendly.

They didn't think about it so much before, but as Prince Lu became more involved in politics, the eldest prince was also named the crown prince and became more involved in political affairs, they realized this.

It's just that no one expected the war to come so quickly.

At that time, the secretary of the military department vaguely mentioned this matter to Emperor Liang, and the ministers quietly entered the palace to discuss, and it took less than three hours from the discussion to the decision.

Prince Lu, who was thriving in the household department at that time, was naturally included in the list of people who could know, because he was still the prince of the Liang State.

The dilemma of loyalty and righteousness, Prince Lu always felt that this was nonsense, and if he was loyal, he would naturally be righteous, and loyalty and righteousness would not contradict each other.

Now he knew that loyalty may not contradict each other, but the object he faces may be opposite, so it seems that loyalty and righteousness are also relative.

It was impossible for Prince Lu to tell the prince of Shu about Liang's plan, so he could only work hard to prepare food and grass for the soldiers on the front line with guilt and weakness.

After all, he was determined to be a capable minister.

When Li Ziqian first arrived in the capital, he didn't want to pay attention to him, and even eliminated him from the bottom of his heart as a friend.

Of course, he knew that it was impossible for Prince Lu to tell him about the Liang State sending troops, and if he was to do it, if the Shu State sent troops, he would not be able to tell him.

Even if he understands, he still doesn't forgive, after all, it is his country, his home!

Prince Lu has a weak heart, he doesn't talk to himself, he doesn't force it, he consciously runs up and down, and first goes to the household department to get him a good location, big enough, but not overstepping, and the scenery is good to make a mansion.

Then he went to the Ministry of Rites to fight for all kinds of things for him, and when the family settled down, he also deliberately rolled in front of his fourth brother, and asked him to agree to let the Li Ziqian brothers go to Guozi to study.

You must know that since he won the crown, he has rarely cheated in front of the imperial brother, he is in his twenties, and at this time he is still coquettish to the imperial brother, which is really too testing in his heart.

Li Ziqian and his two younger brothers went to Guozi to study, and they also married off several concubines who were interested in remarrying, and then studied hard.

The Shu Kingdom is gone, but the Li family is still there, for the sake of the clan, they also have to study hard, with the precedent of the prince of the Chu State, it should not be too difficult for them to become a prince.

But that was for Li Ziqian's two younger brothers, for Li Ziqian, it was safest for him to stay away from the government in this life.

After all, he has been cultivated as a future monarch since he was a child, and he is the crown prince, no matter how big Emperor Liang's heart is, it is impossible for him to participate in politics with confidence.

I used to be so busy every day that I couldn't even drink saliva, but now I am suddenly free, and I have nothing to do except go to Guozi every day to study a few classes.

At first, he still enjoyed this kind of leisure, but after a long time, it couldn't help but be a little boring.

Prince Lu took advantage of the weakness and dragged him out to play, "There are many interesting places in the capital, you stay at home every day in addition to reading, so you are naturally bored, why don't I take you out to play?" ”

Li Ziqian glanced at him coldly, shook his hand and sat on the chair and ignored him.

Prince Lu didn't expect him to talk to him, so he grabbed the person's hand and pulled it out, "Let's go, I'll take you to Qianmen Street first, there are a lot of things to eat there, and there are many restaurants opened by merchants in Shudi, you can go and try the taste." ”

Li Ziqian's attitude was a little soft, and he was dragged out by Prince Lu as soon as he was distracted.

The two got into the car and walked together, Prince Lu introduced him on Twitter, Li Ziqian turned his head and rushed outside, ignoring him.

He came to Liangdu when he was nine years old, but at that time, he barely left the palace of Liang for his safety, so he was not familiar with Liangdu.

It was really interesting to listen to Prince Lu's introduction this time.

When he arrived at Qianmen Street, Prince Lu did not take the car again, but pulled Li Ziqian out of the car and walked over slowly, and from time to time he went to the roadside stalls to join in the fun.

It was the first time for Li Ziqian to go shopping like this, and there were even only two guards around him, and he was not much different from an ordinary rich boy walking in the crowd.

This feeling was very peculiar, and he couldn't help but slow down, and the expression on his face eased a lot.

Prince Lu saw that there were windmills selling in the stall, so he took out the money to buy two, one for Li Ziqian, and the other in his hand and said with a smile: "My son likes to play these, and the rest is for you to play." ”

Li Ziqian looked at the windmill in his hand and frowned slightly, Prince Lu took it and turned it, and the windmill turned, "Oh, that's how it plays." ”

The faces of the people of Liang were full of smiles, and the imperial court had just issued a decree that the taxes in the capital would be reduced by two percent this year.

And the autumn harvest is just around the corner, which is undoubtedly great news for them.

Li Ziqian lowered his eyes and asked, "I don't know what happened to the people of Shudi." ”

Prince Lu said: "Don't worry, the imperial court has sent officials to manage, and the household department has requisitioned a batch of grain to provide relief, and the top priority is to stabilize the people's hearts and let them have food to eat." ”

Li Ziqian sneered and turned the wind lane in his hand: "How easy is it?" After three years of fighting, the people of Shu have almost been barren for three years, and there is a lot of food shortage, and your treasury can get it. ”

Prince Lu was a little weak-hearted, and when he saw him looking at him seriously, he thought that this was the first time he had spoken to him since he entered Beijing, so he said cowardly: "The treasury doesn't have so much silver, and the grain reserves are not enough, so I bought some with the merchants of Chudi and Jiangnan." ”

Li Ziqian raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say that the treasury doesn't have so much silver?" ”

He has always been curious, where did Liang Guo get so much food, so that the grain and grass on the front line have never been cut off.

They are all recuperating and recuperating, and there have been no major natural disasters in Shu in those six years, and their taxes are also very good.

Prince Lu whispered: "You forgot, there is still some money in your palace." ”

Li Ziqian: ......

He silently turned his head and continued on his way, oh, he almost forgot, his house had been raided, and they were in such a hurry that there were many things that they could not take with them.
